It was really just an accident.
The two old devils, Kasahara Yukio and Anami Yuki, were frightened half to death, and Wang Husheng was also frightened.
When the news came back to the temporary headquarters in Ba County, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng were having dinner together. Because they were too busy, the two finally sat down to eat something until this time.
While we were eating, Du Junjie ran in and reported: "Regiment leader, political commissar, something happened!"
Wang Husheng picked up a piece of rice with chopsticks and was about to put it into his mouth when he paused in midair when he heard the words.
Xu Rui continued to eat calmly. While chewing, he asked: "What's the matter?"
Du Junjie said: "While patrolling the northern suburbs of Yi County, a militia team from the Eighth Division of the Jizhong Military Region encountered an infantry team from the Little Devils, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides."
Xu Rui immediately paused in his heart, this is indeed a big deal.
"It's broken!" Wang Husheng's expression changed drastically and he said anxiously, "Isn't it going to be bad now?"
"Fortunately." Du Junjie added, "The Japs didn't seem to change their plans because of this encounter. They still launched an attack on Yixian County half an hour later. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely."
Wang Husheng said: "Ajie, call the standing commander of the Eighth Division immediately and ask them to abandon Yixian County according to the original plan. Otherwise, the main force of the Japanese North China Front will not be able to move westward with confidence! The whole plan will be difficult to succeed!"
"No need." Xu Rui said, "First of all, Commander Chang will definitely cooperate with us. Secondly, Lao Wang, you lack understanding of this old devil Anan Weiji. Although this old devil is not very smart, he has a very good character. Perseverance, as long as it is something he has decided to do, no matter how difficult it is, he will definitely do it!"
"Really?" Wang Husheng was a little doubtful.
…
Xu Rui's judgment is of course correct.
Anan Weiji has no intention of withdrawing at all. In fact, it is not easy for the little devils to withdraw at this time, because more than 50,000 and nearly 60,000 direct troops have completely evacuated Beiping City, and all supplies and equipment have been We were out of the city and halfway to Zijing Pass, when we turned back and everything was in chaos.
What does an army fear most? What I fear most is losing order!
Therefore, in many military games, order is designed as an extremely important military ability.
Anan Weiji, an old devil, may have very mediocre military command skills, but his order value must be very high. Even if a small accident occurs in the front, it does not affect him at all, but he still leads the North China Front Army. The various directly affiliated troops continued to advance in a mighty manner.
At midnight, when the directly affiliated troops of the North China Front had passed Shiting, Anand Weiji ordered the 110th Division protecting the flanks to abandon Shunyi and Changping and catch up with the main force via Mentougou and Shijingshan. The Thirty-fifth Division reduced its troops and defended the front line of Zhuoxian County.
At the same time, Anan Weiji strictly ordered the 27th Division to step up the offensive against Zijingguan and Yixian, and asked Songshan, the third right man, to capture Zijingguan and Yixian before dawn, although Zijingguan and Yixian were still at this time. It was not captured, but Anan Weiji was not too worried in his heart, because intelligence showed that the number of defenders in the two places was not large. There was about a regiment of the local Eighth Route Army in Yi County, and there was only one local militia brigade in Zijingguan.
As long as they are not troops of the Chahar Independent Regiment, there is no problem. Although the 27th Division now only has two infantry regiments left, it is still very easy to deal with a mere regiment of the Eighth Route Army plus a militia brigade! As quickly as two hours, as slowly as before dawn tomorrow, these two places can be won!
So Anami Ekichi gave the order with confidence, and asked the 110th Division, which was protecting the flanks, to follow up, and also asked the 35th Division, which was responsible for breaking up the rear, to enter the defensive position in advance. If Kaneko Eijiro stayed in Anami Ekichi, By his side, Anami might be able to stop Yuichi from being anxious. Unfortunately, Jinguang Keijiro was left in Beiping City.
…
Ba County, temporary headquarters of Chahar Independent Regiment.
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng hurriedly finished their meal and hurried back to the war room.
Du Junjie, who was working on the map with several combat staff, immediately reported: "Commander, the ninth battalion has secretly entered near Huairou, and the eighth battalion has also entered Shunyi County! The first tank company has also arrived. Xianghe County!”
"Okay!" Xu Rui nodded and said in a deep voice, "Telegram to Lao Gao, Lao Liu and Jiuling to calm down, don't be anxious, and don't act rashly before the little devil is fully entangled..."
Before he finished speaking, a communications soldier hurried in and handed several telegrams to Du Junjie at the same time.
After Du Junjie read it, he was overjoyed and said to Xu Rui: "Captain, the little devil is here!"
After a pause, Du Junjie added in a more serious tone: "The cavalry reported that the Japanese 110th Division, which was originally fortified in Changping and Shunyi, has withdrawn across the board, and the 35th Division in Zhuoxian and Gu'an has also withdrawn. They are quietly shrinking their troops and handing over the defense of Gu'an County to the puppet army, and the main force of the division has been reduced to the vicinity of Zhuo County."

"Hahaha!" Wang Husheng said with a smile, "So the Japanese are really here!"
Xu Rui also waved his fist vigorously and shouted: "Pass my order, the Eighth and Nineth Battalions will immediately pass through Changping and Shunyi counties and attack in the direction of Fengtai! The tank company, in coordination with the Seventh Battalion, will immediately move west from Xianghe County Attack, we must advance to Daxing before dawn tomorrow! There is no need for the first battalion to hide, we will take over Zijingguan and Yixian County immediately!"
"Yes!" Du Junjie agreed in an unprecedented high-pitched tone.
…
On Bauhinia Ridge, there is a camp shelter.
The first battalion's shelter was built very far forward, less than a kilometer away from the defensive position at Zijingguan.
So even though it was night, He Guangming and others could still clearly see the battle scene in front of Zijin Pass through the telescope, watching the county brigade militiamen and the Japanese fighting to the death, but they could only stand by and watch. The soldiers in the battalion felt extremely uncomfortable.
Especially seeing that the number of militiamen on the position was getting smaller and smaller, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion felt even more uncomfortable.
Yao Lei scratched his bald head, turned to He Guangming and said, "Battal Commander, how about I take off my military uniforms with a platoon and pretend to be militiamen to fight for a while? Look, the militiamen are about to be unable to withstand it."
"Shut up!" He Guangming said, "If anything happens, will you be responsible?"
"That is to say." Zhu Chen also said, "Everyone in your company is bald. No matter how stupid you are, you will know that you are not militiamen, so we have to go to the Second Company."
Yao Lei said angrily: "Lao Zhu, you are challenging me, right? Om?"
Zhu Chen said: "I'm just calling the shots, what can you do?"
Yao Lei said angrily: "Forget it in normal times, I have to kill you today..."
"Shut up!" He Guangming also got angry and said angrily, "If you don't care too much, you'll be put in a fucking jail!"
Seeing the little Japs showing off their power under their noses but not being able to show them any respect made all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion feel very bad. He Guangming, Yao Lei and Zhu Chen were no exception.
While they were arguing, a correspondent rushed over and loudly reported: "Battalion Commander, there is an urgent call from the regiment headquarters!"
Yao Lei and Zhu Chen, who had just pulled together, immediately stopped moving. He Guangming's high-raised cattail fan-like palms also stopped in the air, and the surrounding cadres who were watching the excitement also looked back.
After a moment, He Guangming was the first to react and shouted loudly: "Read it quickly!"
"Yes!" the correspondent responded, and immediately unfolded the telegram and read loudly, "First Battalion: I order your troops to take over the defense of Bauhinia Pass immediately! Make sure not to let the little Japs cross the Bauhinia Ridge even half a step!"
"Ha!" He Guangming was overjoyed when he heard this. The Japanese are here!
Yao Lei and Zhu Chen, who had just pulled together and were about to beat each other up, immediately gave each other a bear hug, and then laughed at each other. It was done!
At that moment, He Guangming shouted: "Brothers, copycats, follow me!"
Immediately, He Guangming led a group of tiger and wolf soldiers who were already hungry and thirsty, and launched a fierce counterattack against the little Japanese who broke into the Zijingguan position! The Japanese in that squadron were already so tired that they were almost exhausted. How could they stop the wolf-like officers and soldiers of the battalion at this moment? He was defeated in an instant!
…
A sudden change occurred in Zijingguan, and the news quickly reached Anan Weiji.
"Nani?" After receiving the report, Anami immediately showed a look of disbelief on his face. He stared at Kasahara Yukio for a long time, and then said, "Kasahara-kun, you mean, in the garrison When the First Infantry Regiment was about to break through the Zijingguan Pass, a unit of the Chahar Independent Regiment suddenly came out from the pass? From the pass?"
"Hai!" Kasahara Yukio said with a heavy pause, "They were indeed killed from the Bauhinia Pass!"
"How is this possible?" Anan said in confusion, "Hasn't all the main forces of the Chahar Independent Regiment been attracted to other directions by the imperial army's previous feints? How could they still be left at Zijingguan? force?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, have you still not figured it out until now?" Kasahara Yukio said, "We have fallen into a trap!"
"Have we fallen into a trap?" Anan Weiji still didn't really understand, and continued confusedly, "What trap did we fall into?"
"Of course it's Xu Rui's plan!" Kasahara Yukio said angrily, "Xu Rui is afraid that he has already seen through the true intention of the imperial army. He just deliberately pretended not to discover it, but secretly set a trap for us, waiting for us. He's stupidly sneaking into the trap, Baga, this guy is so cunning!"
"It's a trap, is it a trap?" Anan Weiji still didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "Impossible, Xu Rui is not a god who knows the unknown, how could he know such a secret battle plan?"
"It's still impossible!" Kasahara Yukio said angrily, "Speaking of tactics, when did the imperial army defeat Xu Rui? Xu Rui is more cunning than you and I imagined!"
