At 10 a.m. on September 23, the troops of the temporary 183rd Brigade led by Xing Yusheng were ordered to complete the reorganization and were about to march towards the "Jingfu" county town.

The cavalry company that had already stepped forward outside Baishan Pass sent someone to send horses back to report that a gang of Japanese troops ten miles away from Baishan Pass had already been in trouble with them.

After hearing the news, Xing Yusheng knew that the situation was urgent and had to telegraph the Western Route Army Command while commanding the troops to step up the renovation of fortifications.

"A whole corps came again. When Ogisu established troops to set up this situation, he looked at me, Cheng Jiaji. This may be what people often say is tiring!" Cheng Jiaji's first reaction after seeing this urgent call was that he felt glad from the bottom of his heart. In order to reorganize the troops, he ordered Xing Yusheng's troops to postpone the time to advance to the county town of "Jingfu" for several hours. Otherwise, the temporary 183rd Brigade, which was seriously injured, encountered a Japanese army corps on the plains and was caught off guard and had to be wiped out.

"The current situation is extraordinary. A few minutes ago, the commander of the Independent One Hundred Brigade Wen Songyuan also called to report that his guard troops and the vanguards of the main force of the Japanese 13th Division fought an encounter an hour ago. Although our army won a small victory, this was obviously a sign that the main force of the Japanese army was about to catch up with our guard troops. The Wen Department stopped to build fortifications, and it would be difficult to withstand the main force of Ogisu's army for a long time. If the front cannot be taken down and rushed over from behind, then..." Qian Shen's words were unfinished, and everyone present understood the unfinished meaning.

Since ancient times, those who say defeated the army before fighting are ominous. Even those who are decisive as a hero, have to avoid this topic a little bit.

"At worst, let's rely on Baishan Pass to fight to the death, and fight to the death. Cheng Jiaji and these 8,000 soldiers will be forced to take the Japanese together even if they die! I ordered Wen Songyuan's troops to leave a reinforcement battalion to guard the horse-falling mouth outside Xiaojia Village on the way. The main force quickly approached Baishan Pass and arrived at Baishan Pass within five hours. I explained it to me in a telegram to Wen Lao Er. No matter how far he is from Baishan Pass or how dispersed the troops, even if they run away to death, they will arrive on time. The other troops immediately headed to Baishan Pass and reach Baishan Pass within two hours. Let Xing Yusheng's troops guard Baishan Pass tightly." Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Cheng Jiaji, who was usually willing to listen to other people's opinions, became "domineering and autocratic" and did not discuss with anyone, he issued combat orders one after another.

After Cheng Jiaji issued a series of orders, the little staff in the war room rushed to convey the orders like sparks. In an instant, the war room that was overcrowded just now became empty. Only Cheng Jiaji, Qian Shen, Liu Tianlong and other few "idle" people were left.

"Brother Qi Tian, ​​Brother Wei Li, I'm sorry, I'm good at being a good brother. If you have any opinions, it's still time to say that it's reasonable. If you have any reason, brother will immediately modify the combat plan." The room was empty, and Cheng Jiaji suddenly realized the fate of everyone he had just talked to himself, and felt a little embarrassed to express his apology to Qian Shen and Liu Tianlong with a wry smile.

"If you fight, you have to be decisive and decisive. Besides, the situation is like this, I can't think of any good idea, so I have to compete with the Japanese. Anyway, I don't want to go back to be a Japanese slave."

Without asking Cheng Jiaji for his own advice, he made up his mind to defeat the Japanese in front of Baishan Pass.

Liu Tianlong could not have no idea that he had any knowledge. He just joined forces with Cheng Jiaji and acted arrogantly. In the future, he would inevitably not treat him like a slave. What would happen to this relationship in the future? But from another perspective, Liu Tianlong sincerely admired Cheng Jiaji's amazing soul power that was able to make decisive and quick decisions and arranged a preliminary combat plan.

At this critical moment of life and death, Liu Tianlong also understood that a dictator is much more reliable than a good man who holds meetings for discussions with business. Besides, as he said just now, in this case, as long as he does not want to surrender or eliminate his entire army in front of Baishan Pass, he can only concentrate his troops to break through the road and break out of a bloody road.

Faced with the two squads that were blocked front and chased back, the Japanese army was more confident in defeating the Japanese gang blocked by Baishan Pass. In addition, Liu Tianlong himself could not think of any other moves.

With this slightly complicated mood, Liu Tianlong voted in favor of Cheng Jiaji's decisive decision.

"The cavalry has strong assault power on the plains. I think this battle will depend on the cavalry brigade commanded by Deputy Liu." Qian Shen spoke with the urging of Cheng Jiaji's eyes, but he went to Liu Tianlong.

Unlike Liu Tianlong, Cheng Jiaji's decision was expected by Qian Shen. Looking at the wars since Cheng Jiaji's debut, what Qian Shen admired most about Cheng Jiaji's military use is Cheng Jiaji's arrogance of not being afraid of the Japanese army. Whenever he met the Japanese on the battlefield, he would always dare to fight to the death. Not to mention the current situation where he is fighting hard and not fighting hard. With Cheng Jiaji's personality, he must have a great reputation.

In Qian Shen's view, Cheng Jiaji's unique offensive spirit, similar to the character of a gambler, is the reason why Cheng Jiaji has succeeded repeatedly. At this time, there were no shortage of generals in the Chinese army who could fight and were resourceful, but only generals like Cheng Jiaji who dared to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army were rare.

Qian Shen’s main focus was on Liu Tianlong.

Qian Shen has always been very alert to the thoughts and trends of Liu Tianlong, who has newly joined the small group of himself and others. Qian Shen’s vigilance towards Liu Tianlong is not because he is afraid that Liu Tianlong will join the Japanese again at this critical moment, and his inherent rejection and guard against the character of the second-person in the group has nothing to do with who the specific person is on the seat.

Qian Shen has always believed that a system-building organization is best not to have a second person who can replace the No. 1 leader at any time. In Qian Shen's mind, the ideal organizational structure of a powerful group should be that there are several No. 3 people under the head who are not incompatible with each other.

Before this, Qian Shenzhi agreed against his will to give Liu Tianlong the seat of the No. 2 person in the nominal group to sit. On the one hand, because the situation forced Liu Tianlong to give Liu Tianlong a suitable name so that he could continue to recruit more people to join Cheng Jiaji's command. On the other hand, he expected that Liu Tianlong would not have the prestige to command the troops of the 100th Independent Division.

But despite this, Qian Shen still had a concern about this matter, that is, if Liu Tianlong always feels that he is second only to Cheng Jiaji, and even thinks that he is an ally of Cheng Jiaji who is in harmony and who is not in harmony, it will be harmful to the entire group over time.

Qian Shen saw Liu Tianlong's psychological activities one by one, and he had already made up the determination to deal with them if Liu Tianlong still could not put himself in the right position in a short period of time. For the sake of group stability, he would have to deal with them decisively.

In Qian Shen's mind, in the small group he helped Cheng Jiaji step by step, no one can think that he is qualified to make friends with Cheng Jiaji as a quarrel friend. Naturally, among these people, Qian Shen himself.

"Brother Qi Tian, ​​let's close it together. As for how to fight, let's discuss it!" After seeing Liu Tianlong's expression on his face when he heard what Qian Shen said, Cheng Jiaji quickly stood up and fought to smooth things over.

At 11:30 am, in front of Baishan Pass.

Colonel Yoshihara was very confident at this moment. Although the incompetent Sixty-third Regiment almost lost Baishan Pass, because his troops were brave and quick to act, they still blocked the Chinese army that escaped from Fujin Mountain.

In Colonel Yoshihara's expectation, there will be little suspense in the next battle.

In the continuous battle with the "Imperial" army, the Chinese army, which had suffered heavy losses, had to search for a way to escape along the mountains.

Of course, the "wise" Colonel Yoshihara would never give them a chance to escape from the "Emperor" army. Colonel Yoshihara had reached a consensus with the 63rd Regiment Corps. Colonel Shinpei, who had obtained the strength of a brigade, was responsible for guarding the points. Colonel Yoshihara would personally lead a whole corps, blocking the Baishan Pass, while ready to rely on the advantages of full mechanization to speed up all levels.

Not to mention that Colonel Yoshihara was quite proud of this arrangement, even when he reported to the 13th Division headquarters, Ogisu, who established a lieutenant general, also praised Colonel Yoshihara for his good use of troops.

Colonel Yoshihara was flattered at the praise from the lieutenant general, but he didn't agree with the lieutenant general's warning that "let him be careful to bet on the Chinese army" before the end of the telegram.

Just kidding! At this moment, the troops in Tajihara's hands had more than 3,000 people. Just relying on the tired army on the opposite side who had lost troops and lost generals at Baishan Pass, would he still dare to fight against him in the wild? If the newly-risen general of the Chinese army was really overestimated, it would be just a destruction.

Although he didn't believe it very much that Cheng Jiaji had this kind of courage, as a professional soldier who thought he was excellent, Yoshihara still carried out the instructions of Lieutenant General in the telegram. After the troops arrived at Baishan Pass, he first used a brigade of troops to attack the Guan Shang. After Xing Yusheng's troops failed to take advantage of the situation to capture Baishan Pass, Colonel Yoshihara commanded his troops to build fortifications at the foot of the mountain.

"Look, the Japanese are very well-educated at this moment. They deliberately wanted to trap our army in Baishan Pass and wait for the gang of Lieutenant Generals of Ogizhou to come immediately so that we can make a pot of money." Cheng Jiaji, who hurried to the gate, looked down at the mountain with a telescope, said to Liu, Qian, Xing and others behind him.

"In this era, cavalry attacking infantry has set up defense positions, so it can only be a massacre. Cavalry! It is already behind the times!" Liu Tianlong was also a little confused when he saw the "turtle" formation set up by the Japanese. When he was in the command center just now, he was very dissatisfied with Qian Shen's attempt to take the lead, but at this moment the formation set up by the Japanese army simply made his cavalry lose his use of martial arts. However, it inevitably made Liu Tianlong feel a little disappointed. Among Liu Tianlong's sadness, although many of them were mourning about the cavalry that he loved, the army that had been tragic in the world, which had been tragic for nearly three thousand years, was about to withdraw from the stage of history, and more were worried about the fate of the unit he was in.

"Brother Wei Li, after Wen Songyuan's troops arrive, from dusk, I plan to concentrate my superior forces and then fire all the shells. Do you see if I can rush to the Japanese army's position? If the Japanese are in chaos, our army can fight with the Japanese army. The two sides will become close-knit, and the cavalry will have the chance to sweep the thousands of troops in the night." If it were on weekdays, Cheng Jiaji would be amazed that Liu Tianlong could say such profound words, but at this moment he still had such leisure and leisure. He knew that his top priority was to determine the specific combat steps.

As soon as Cheng Jiaji said this, Qian Shen was shocked. He didn't regret taking this kind of tactic of throwing everything. If one step was missed, the entire army would be wiped out immediately. Of course, if the battle was successful, the Japanese army's corps would also be in trouble.

Cheng Jiaji ignored other gazes and stared at Qian Shen.

"If all officers and soldiers can use their lives, 50% will be used." After calculating for a long time, Qian Shen raised his head and replied in a cold tone.

"That is, it's just a fair bet with God, and it's no big deal. My luck has always been good. Brother Qi Tian, ​​I'm betting, will you follow me?" Cheng Jiaji forced himself to suppress his excitement and tried hard to sway Liu Tianlong's army in a calm tone.

"The left and right are dead. I think no one will mention this kind of death. Just because Mr. Liu has been a traitor for three years. Just look at your brother Haoran's heroic spirit, why bother me, Liu Qitian, and this bet!"

Although sometimes he would be a little scheming in order to survive, Liu Tianlong, the master of the past, could withstand the aggression like Cheng Jiaji. Besides, he used his life to break a path for himself first, and he had no reason to even dare to keep up with him and eat meat.

"Everyone goes down the mountain, sleeps, and wakes up. Wen Laoer's troops should also come. Let them rest for a while and recover their physical strength. Let's start attacking from five o'clock in the afternoon, first use cavalry to harasse the Japanese positions and try to disturb their sight. Then use infantry to attack with all their strength. Before dark, the infantry must tear a hole from the center of the Japanese defense line so that the cavalry can conduct assault and expand the results. Once the cavalry enters the enemy formation, they will first destroy the Japanese army with a higher terrain. At this time, the infantry blocks the Japanese army on the left wing with a regiment, and our army's main force passes quickly. The regiment then alternately covers the cavalry to escape from the battlefield under the response of the cavalry." Cheng Jiaji held Liu Tianlong's hand tightly and finally decided on the specific combat steps of this battle.
Chapter completed!
