One attacks and one defends, and the defender suffers congenitally. The Great Wall is a gift from the ancestors, and once a breakthrough is formed, whether it is Pingjin or Jicha, it is like a samurai who has taken off his armor, although his martial arts are strong, he can only face it with flesh and blood, as long as he is hit, it is a bloody lesson.

At the pre-war meeting, Ouyang Yun was in high spirits, and he thought that the tactics of attacking the big shoji were really ingenious. However, the long Great Wall line and the ubiquitous passes eventually made his plan a big laughing stock. As a traverser, he is too familiar with the Japanese army's methods of raising troops, as long as a place is captured, the local area will become a supply ground for the Japanese army. Therefore, no matter what the outcome of the Battle of Daishoji is, in the end, the plan to destroy the Japanese army's supply line will be frustrated, and the bad impact of this is that not only can the Japanese army not be prevented from moving south, but it is very likely that the Japanese army will have to take the initiative to find the Japanese army for a decisive battle because of the public anger in the jurisdiction. However, with the current strength of the Cadet Army, even with the help of the 57th Army, will it be able to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army? The answer, of course, is no. In this way, the current situation of the student army is quite embarrassing, is it advancing or retreating, or taking the initiative to catch up? Ouyang Yun fell into a very difficult choice for a while.

In Shandong, although Han Fuqu did not flee as Ouyang Yun expected, as soon as the war began, but led his troops to resist desperately, however, because the only heavy firepower heavy artillery brigade was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek, therefore, in the face of the Japanese tank artillery, the Han Department had no power to fight back, among them, only on the day of the war, Sun Tongxuan's department of the Twelfth Army was defeated, and Han Fuqu had no choice but to retreat to Jinan with his own diehard pistol brigade. Under the cover of aircraft, tanks and artillery, the Japanese Second Army captured the Jiaodong Peninsula in just two days, and then divided into two routes, the 11th Mixed Brigade moved along the sea in the direction of Hebei, and the Sixth Division went straight to Jinan.

The war that happened in Shandong, with Li Tieshu staring at it, Ouyang Yun didn't need to worry too much. After all, there are only two divisions of devils in that direction, and no matter how brave the little devils are, in the case of limited troops, even if they form an encirclement of the student army, there is no real threat. However, the Great Wall line is different. After the third day of the battle, Ouyang Yun had already seen the deployment of the Japanese troops in front of him. Nominally, Japan's North China side is divided into three routes, but in reality? The two divisions (the 5th Division and the 2nd Mixed Brigade) under the Front Command had now been placed on the battlefield along the Great Wall, and the Chahar Task Force led by Hideki Tojo made a symbolic sortie and circled in the direction of Gubeikou. Together with the 9th Division held at Xifengkou and the 1st and 2nd Mixed Brigades moving from Tiemen Pass to Nantianmen, the Japanese army now concentrated almost 80 percent of its forces on the line of the Great Wall centered on Nantianmen. It is conceivable that next, Chicheng and Yanqing will definitely not be guaranteed. Next, Zhangjiakou and Beiping will be under the threat of the Japanese army, and once Zhangjiakou and Beiping are captured, then Jicha will be cut off, and at that time, the Japanese army will have more choices, and the situation of the student army will become very passive. Not only Chahar is facing the fate of total decline, but Hebei, after the capture of Beiping, the subsequent Yima Pingchuan will not be able to effectively prevent the Japanese army from moving south.

Ouyang Yun stood in front of the military map, his face gloomy and he was pondering, Chen Shichang walked in, and he said in a low voice: "Military seat, Commander Qin has called to ask for support. Commander Qin had already led all the troops of the 29th Army in Beiping with about 20,000 troops to intercept the Japanese army, and he said that if the Japanese army was not driven out of the Great Wall, the second Great Wall War of Resistance would end in a crushing defeat for our side. Once our army loses these two places of standing, although the world is big, there will be no place for our army to stand on it. ”

The reason why Qin Dechun wanted to talk about so much in the telegram was because he was worried that Ouyang Yun would make an unusual move under impulse.

Ouyang Yun has this idea - since you little devil are going to come in, why can't we go out? Jicha will let you go, Lao Tzu will enter the three northeastern provinces. In this way, although the efforts of the Cadet Army in Jicha for nearly a year have been lost, once the situation in the three northeastern provinces is completely disturbed, it will not be a bad thing for the entire Chinese war situation. At that time, if Yan Xishan in Nanjing and Shanxi, Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan, and Shang Zhenken in Henan sent troops, the Japanese troops in Jicha and Jinsan provinces would be wrapped in dumpling filling......

This is a bold idea, what is needed is the sincere cooperation of the above-mentioned companies, but Ouyang Yun is not confident in this. And Qin Dechun, after careful consideration, obviously denied the entire combat plan. He chose to accept the challenge of the Japanese army, and the two sides fought a decisive battle along the Great Wall of Nantianmen, considering that they would not give up Jicha.

Ouyang Yun took the telegram from Chen Shichang's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked Chen Shichang: "Have any new battle reports from the wolf teeth and the big knife been sent back, and where are they now?" What about Stern's Jewish Independent Brigade? ”

Chen Shichang said: "The wolf's tooth is now at Xifengkou, just behind the 9th Division of the Japanese Army. Broadsword has not yet returned the latest battle report, but they did not retreat to the Great Wall after fighting with the vanguard of the Japanese army before, and now they should be operating around the Japanese army. Stern had just sent back a telegram and they had gone to Chengde. ”

Ouyang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the last sentence, he looked at Chen Shichang and asked, "Is it credible that the Jewish independence brigade went to Chengde?" ”

"That's exactly what the message sent back by the Independent Jewish Brigade."

"Okay, approve their plan to raid Chengde, and in addition, let the third division also go out of the Great Wall, let them make the formation bigger, and come over to the mouth of Xifeng."

"Junzao, do you want to encircle and annihilate the Ninth Division?"

"Yes. By the way, give me the phone number of Commander Zhang, Jicha is not only our student army, but also the 57th Army, and the 57th Army should also move seriously. ”

"Junza, you don't want to have a decisive battle with the Japanese army, do you?"

Ouyang Yun didn't speak, waited for a while, took the phone from Chen Shichang's hand, and said straight to the point: "Brother Zhang, this time I need the help of your army." ”

Zhang Zizhong had already learned the news of the fall of Nantianmen, and his voice was a little heavy, and he said: "I don't want you to say this, our two armies are grasshoppers tied to the same rope." Now that the Japanese army has broken through the defense line of the Great Wall, your previous arrangement can be said to be completely useless. Tell us about your next step. Ouyang, you have to be prepared to fight hard with the little devil. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Yes." Big brother, don't worry, I still have this awareness, and when the moment comes, I will be at the forefront. Xiangyue Qingji, the old fox, has a high move, and after a long time according to the routine, he suddenly came out with a big move. Big brother, our Jewish brigade has captured Dashozi and is now marching towards Chengde. In this case, I think it would be better to stir up the water a little more, how about you send troops to Pingquan? Then the two armies met and marched all the way north. ”

"Huh? Do you want to stir up a handful of little devils in the hinterland? ”

"Yes."

"But what if the Japanese army is not fooled? Although the three northeastern provinces have been occupied by little devils, they are still nominally our Chinese places, and what substantive effect can we have in this kind of warfare? ”

"Reclaim the rivers and mountains. Aren't the three northeastern provinces still active in the Anti-Japanese Federation? Knock it down and leave it to them. This idea, Ouyang Yun also had an idea. Since the beginning of 31 years, the rule of the Japanese army in the three northeastern provinces can be said to have a certain foundation, but the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation has not been extinguished. If you can really eliminate the local Japanese puppet army and then hand it over to the people of the Anti-Japanese Federation to take care of, this is undoubtedly equivalent to cutting off the roots of the little devils. In this way, Ouyang Yun didn't believe that the little devil would not return to the army. Of course, to achieve such an effect, a mere independent Jewish brigade is not enough. There are still three divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army remaining in the three northeastern provinces, plus the puppet army and the puppet Korean army, there is still hope for the independent brigade to go in and burn the fire. Of course, he didn't expose the power of Eagle Cliff Mountain. His other plan is to take advantage of this opportunity to focus on helping Chu Tiange open up the surrounding areas of Eagle Cliff Mountain, make the Eagle Cliff Mountain base bigger and stronger, and shape it into a nail that is firmly embedded in the three northeastern provinces. In that way, it can be implemented as a long-term strategy in conjunction with the movements of the Cadet Army in the border areas.

Zhang Zizhong pondered for a while and replied: "It's a good idea, but there is a premise, our hometown can't be lost first." ”

Ouyang Yun: "Our student army will try to delay the Japanese offensive as much as possible. Chahar can be lost, but there is still Renqiu in Beiping, and we will swear to keep it. Big brother, you know the details of our two families. The Japanese army's aggressive actions against our country have only just begun, and I estimate that this will be a long time. If we want to deal with the little devils in Jicha and the two places, Ren Qiu must not be lost. As soon as Ren Qiu is lost, our two armies will become children without milk. ”

Zhang Zizhong said yes on the phone, and said after a while: "In this way, how about I let Xiao Zhao's 143rd Division cooperate with your Jewish travel?" The strength of two divisions should be enough for a little devil to drink a pot. However, on the side of the Anti-Japanese Federation, you are responsible for contacting you, brother. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled: "This is no problem. In addition, I hope that you can send two divisions out of Shanhaiguan to enter Dashozi. If the Japanese army can't stand up for it in puppet Manchuria, the First Army will definitely let the troops come back to help, so it will be an opportunity for us. ”

Zhang Zizhong also smiled, because he felt that Ouyang Yun's idea was a bit idealistic. The strength of the Japanese North China Front was more than twice that of the Cadet Army and the 57th Army combined. And the current situation is favorable to the Japanese army, it can be said that if the Japanese army cannot be contained near Nantianmen in a short period of time, then in the future, whether it is the Scholar Army or the 57th Army, because they dare not fight a decisive battle with the enemy, they will fall into a situation of being completely passively beaten. At that time, it was the Japanese army that sent troops back to the three northeastern provinces, and asked the Xuebing Army or the 57th Army whether it had the ability to ambush or encircle and annihilate?
