Chapter 4: The Night of Changping (8)

At this time, as the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Ouyang Yun made a lot of common-sense mistakes. This may be the price to pay for growing up, but fortunately, he has a group of trustworthy brothers. This is also a unique quality of the Chinese. At present, although there will be many traitors and many speculators, more people will be able to abandon different opinions and unify with the outside world.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and the night was getting darker and darker. Where the shadows of the trees linger, the smoke of war fills the air, giving people a sense of trance. This day is the day of war, in fact, since last night, the officers and men of the student army gathered in Changping, from Ouyang Yun to ordinary soldiers, have not had a good rest. Being in a state of high mental tension for a long time is not only a test of people's spirit, but also a test of their physique.

Huang Hao is covering his mouth and yawning at the moment, the soldiers of the Cadet Army, because of their special composition of Cadet Corps, should be the highest in the current Chinese army in terms of personal cultural quality. Therefore, many officers behaved in a polite manner, which was completely different from the consistent image of soldiers and bandits in the eyes of the world.

Yawning is also contagious, so all the officers gathered at the temporary headquarters, including Ouyang Yun, yawned one after another after witnessing Huang Hao's very Confucian yawn.

Huang Hao was the first to yawn, looked at Ouyang Yun and asked, "Junzao, what now?" ”

Ouyang Yun's brain was running rapidly. Turning his gaze to Tong Linge, he said, "I'm not worried about the enemy in front of me now, but about the northwest. ”

Tong Linge immediately understood and said, "Are you worried that Yoshizu Ryosuke will act at the same time as the main force of the Japanese First Army?" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded: "Although the Ninth Division and the 108th Division were disabled by us, the sum of the divisions is still worth the strength of one of our divisions. Whichever direction such a large force moves, it will put us under great pressure. Perhaps, it should have been wiped out in the first place. ”

Because the sky was about to be dark, it was not conducive to pursuit and large-scale operations, and it was not possible to make effective use of the air power that had already mastered air supremacy, and at the same time, considering that the soldiers were exhausted, Ouyang Yun asked all the pursuing troops to stop their actions. Now it seems that he was conservative, because the result of this was that the Japanese army disappeared from their sight.

Tong Linge pondered for a while and said, "Send a telegram to Chairman Yan Xishan and General Fu Zuoyi to report the situation." Yoshizu Ryosuke and they really dare to turn around and continue to entangle with us, I think with the current morale and combat strength of our army, they can completely stop it. But what if they turn to Shanxi or even break through Chahar to Suiyuan? I have to guard against it. ”

The battle for the "mud puddle" became fierce again. After He Zheng descended, the attack of the Jibu Brigade became more ferocious. From time to time, the explosions of grenades and grenades were heard, and occasionally, a flare rose into the air, illuminating the area centered on the "mud puddle" as bright as day.

Deng Zige, who had been silent, spoke: "I don't think this is a good opportunity for our army. ”

"Huh?" All eyes were on him.

"At present, it is not the main force of the Japanese First Army that poses the greatest threat to us, after all, their combat intentions have been exposed. The remnants of the 9th Division and the 108th Division, this unit that has been hidden by the night, is what we can avoid the most. If I were Kiyoji Kazuki, I would definitely involve them in this operation! And the target must be Wangjiawei. ”

Ouyang Yun and Tong Linge glanced at each other, and they were both interested, and the former encouraged: "Keep talking." ”

"From the analysis of the strength of the Japanese First Army exposed just now, this time Kazuki Qingji dispatched almost all the troops, even if there are those who stay in Wangjiawei, it will definitely not be more than one brigade. The heavy artillery units of the Japanese army have been completely bombed by the 1st Division of our Air Force, and I think that when considering the implementation of this night raid operation, the most worrying thing about Kazuki Kiyoji should be whether our army in Wangjiawei will also take advantage of the situation to launch a night attack. In this case, if Yoshizu Ryosuke is allowed to lead the team to attack Wangjiawei, this danger can undoubtedly be resolved. If Gu Mingchang and Zhang Yantian do not deal with it properly, they may also give the Japanese army a chance to capture Wangjiawei. Personally, I think that as far as the current battle situation is concerned, Gu Mingchang's best choice is to attack as soon as possible. If he can break through the Japanese army left behind by Wangjiawei in one fell swoop, then Kazuki Kiyoji will have to consider the defense of his rear flank. If the main force of the Japanese First Army is bitten near Changping, and when it is daytime, as soon as our fighters are dispatched, hehe, only the whole army will be defeated while waiting for the Japanese army. ”

Before he finished his words, Ouyang Yun and the others' eyes became red and shining. The latter has the clearest grasp of the movements of the whole army, and said with a smile at this time: "Lao Huang's analysis is extremely thorough, but a few parts are missing. The main force of the 29th Army was still in Huairou, and according to reliable sources, only one brigade of Japanese troops was stationed there. There are also big knives and wolf teeth, the single brigade and the Guo brigade have already sent telegrams back before, and the big knife has been assembled on the front line of the Great Wall Bagua Pass between Yanqing and Changping, and the wolf teeth have already arrived under the city of Yanqing after the assembly. If there are no accidents, tomorrow morning, Yanqing will change hands. After a pause, he said sonorously: "Flattering, draft orders!" ”

"Yes!"

"Command! Dadao moved towards Wangjiawei, and their task was to directly end the headquarters of the Japanese army left behind in Wangjiawei and give the Japanese army a heavy blow to the maximum. Command! Gu Mingchang and Zhang Yantian led Wangjiawei's troops to the Bagua Pass of the Great Wall, and the task was to defend the line. Command! The Chahar garrison and the temporary reserve force launched a harassing attack on the Japanese troops in the Chicheng area of Yunzhou, and the troops directly under the North China Front must be firmly held back. Command! Liaocheng's subordinate troops must resolutely block the northward movement of the Japanese Second Army. In addition, I sent a telegram to the commander of the Qin army and asked him to attack the Japanese army outside Huairou City and move in the direction of our Changping. ”

After a series of orders were issued, Ouyang Yun looked at everyone with blazing eyes and said, "Among you, many of you have participated in the First Great Wall War of Resistance, and the success or failure of that battle, as a latecomer, I will not evaluate it. Now, since history has given us another chance, we must wash away the shame of the defeat in the previous battle, we must not only defeat the Japanese army's aggressive attempt, but also kill and wound them as much as possible, and we must let the little devils know that we Chinese are not easy to bully! After saying this, his tongue was already a little dry, and he paused and said to Tong Linge: "General Tong, I will ask you to send a telegram to Commander Qin later, this battle is very important, I hope that your two armies can join hands to break the enemy and avenge the old Commander Song." ”

Tong Linge nodded and said with a smile: "This is the internal affairs of my generation, and Commander Ouyang doesn't need to say much." ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and began to give orders to Huang Hao and the others.

Because of the exposure of the main forces of the Japanese army before, it can be predicted that the Japanese army has encountered an attack and harassment, and the scale is not small (this is the consensus of everyone, including Ouyang Yun and Tong Linge, of course, and later they found that the so-called "large-scale attack" was just a play sung by five people, and everyone's expressions were quite exciting), then, in response to the department, Ouyang Yun decided to change the current combat plan, except for the current troops to continue to oppress the 40th brigade, the remaining troops are divided into two parts, Some of them were used as reserves, and some of them went out of Huangzhuang, striving to form a defensive line between Lijiatunzi and Huangzhuang to hinder and hold back the main force of the Japanese First Army.

To put it in layman's terms, it is to expand the scale of the night raid battle!

Regarding the series of orders issued by Ouyang Yun, Tong Linge only had doubts about one of them, that is, for the garrison of Wangjiawei. What he didn't understand was why he didn't let him cooperate with the broadsword to flank the Japanese troops left behind in the area, so that not only could he get greater results, but he could even try to completely annihilate them. It is important to know that even if the broadsword can destroy the command system of the Japanese troops left behind and make their troops a rout, the withdrawal of the Wangjiawei defenders will definitely give the remnants of the Ninth Division and the 108th Division and the main force of the First Army a chance to join forces. In his opinion, the greatest achievement of the Chinese army in the Second Great Wall War of Resistance has been to separate the Japanese First Army into two parts, and to inflict great casualties on one of them. If once the two parts of the division are allowed to learn, then all the efforts they have put in before will not be in vain?

Because he wanted to maintain Ouyang Yun's authority, he didn't raise this question in front of everyone, and it wasn't until the commanders of the various troops began to go down to lead the team that he found an opportunity to tell Ouyang Yun about this.

Ouyang Yun has great respect for Tong Linge, and his degree even exceeds that of Qin Dechun, the current leader of the 29th Army. Perhaps it was precisely because of this feeling that General Tong would open his heart to this young man and fellowship with his true temperament.

This is the only puzzling place among Ouyang Yun's many arrangements. Originally, he hoped that more people would raise doubts and then act as a puzzle solver. It is important to know that in the hearts of Huang Banxian and other people in the rivers and lakes, the little chief enjoys the ability to know the heavens for 5,000 years. Speaking of which, our little commander is still a bit vain, and I like this feeling of being regarded as a god. Of course, in front of Tong Linge, he categorically did not dare to have such thoughts. Very respectfully, he answered the old general's questions.

"General Tong, you have said a lot, this really gives people the feeling that our previous efforts have been wasted, and it can be regarded as a major flaw in this combat plan. But this flaw was deliberately released by me. ”

Tong Linge was puzzled: "What is it for?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Because we have the Air Force!" ”

Tong Linge thought about it, and his eyes lit up. Yes, because of the reason for mastering air supremacy, now, the problem of the density of the Japanese army's forces is no longer an advantage of the Japanese army, on the contrary, it gives the 1st Air Division of the Cadet Army an opportunity to give full play to its might. Isn't the denser the population density for bombing, the better?

Ouyang Yun was full of confidence: "As long as it is delayed until dawn, the victory will definitely belong to us!" His eyes were full of longing for the aftermath of victory!
