June 22, 1935, the 24th year of the Republic of China.
"General, let's move quickly. The Black Tiger Army is about to attack here." The chief of staff of the 12th Division Headquarters hurried over and said to Lieutenant General Koiso Kuniaki.
"Baga, I won't leave until I see where the Black Tiger Army can hit." Kuniaki Koiso roared loudly while leaning on his command knife.
When the chief of staff saw this situation, he waved to the guards without any nonsense, and two guards immediately picked up Koiso Kuniaki and walked out. "Put me down, you bastards, I won't leave..."
The Twelfth Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy casualties under the combined ground and air attacks of the Black Tiger Army, and its defeat was a foregone conclusion. The Twelfth Division of the Japanese Army was a permanent draft horse division, with a total of four infantry regiments, one field artillery regiment and one
There are eight cavalry regiments in total, with a total strength of about 28,200.
Such a huge force was actually defeated by the Black Tiger Army with only four infantry regiments and more than 10,000 people at Longmen. This result shocked the Kwantung Army. It can be said that the defeat of the 80th mixed brigade was a coincidence.
The annihilation of the 77th Regiment can be said to be a conspiracy.
But this time the matter of the Twelfth Division could not be justified in this way. Lieutenant General Koiso Kuniaki was defeated until Chengde and stopped. The Black Tiger Army also stopped pursuing and returned to Chahar. On June 20
On the sixth day, the defense lines of both sides returned to the state before the station. Koiso Kuni Shoichi, who finally had time to count the casualties, couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he counted the losses.
The heavy artillery brigade was basically wiped out, and the 12th Division only returned more than 14,000 people, which meant that the 12th Division was reduced by half. This was the heaviest loss for the Japanese army since the Meiji Restoration.
It can definitely be recorded in the annals of history. How can this not make the Japanese furious?
"The Black Tiger Army aviation force defeated the 13th Flying Division of the Japanese Army"
"The Twelfth Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses and retreated to Chengde"
"Commander Su claimed that the Japanese pirates must be driven out of China."
It's popular, it's completely popular. Media all over the country are reporting one thing. The 12th Division of the Japanese Army was defeated by the Black Tiger Army. This time, not only domestic, but also Western media reported this "
The battle of "Longmensuo" made the Japanese government feel disgraced.
The Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters clamored loudly to mobilize heavy troops from the Kwantung Army to take revenge, but before they could take any action, news came that the Soviet Far East Military District was conducting exercises near the borders of the three eastern provinces, which made all the staff of the General Staff Headquarters shut up.
, but don’t even lose Manchuria if you don’t take revenge.
The one who became famous all over the world in one battle is our Commander-in-Chief Su. Now Su Tong has become a civilized and famous anti-Japanese general in the country. Even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek sent him a commendation order. It is time to resolve this identity issue.
Previously, Su Tong had no choice but to use the name of the Black Tiger Army. Now that the situation in Chahar has temporarily stabilized, it is necessary to re-calculate the total.
We in China have been paying attention to an orthodox issue since ancient times. As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished. Previously, it was because there was no reputation, but now our Su Daguan has a famous anti-Japanese general on his head.
It would be unreasonable for the central government of Halo not to give a name.
It was necessary to make arrangements for the Longmen Institute and rush back to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible. Su Tong secretly made a decision.
In the underground conference room of Longmen Institute, all the officers gathered together, smoking, drinking, chatting and spanking in a very lively manner. But everyone knew the content of today's meeting. Su Tong could not stay in Longmen Institute for a long time.
As a forward fortress to resist the Japanese army, Longmen Institute must station a large force. Then a person must be appointed to take charge of all matters of Longmen Institute.
Even though the Black Tiger Army is still a local ragtag force in name only, in terms of military strength, its weapons and equipment are second to none in the country.
The Longmen Institute has now gathered one-half of the Black Tiger Army. Whoever can command the troops in the Longmen Institute will be the well-deserved number two figure in the Black Tiger Army.
And everyone believes that it won’t be long before the central government will give Su Tong a position, and the status of everyone present will inevitably rise. Therefore, those who have the ability to compete for this position are gearing up, but despite this, no one dares to directly
They formed cliques because everyone knew the temper of our Su officials from the old men in the militia.
"Commander-in-Chief is here!" As the officer on duty shouted, all the personnel stood at attention.
Su Tong came to the front seat, looked around everyone, and then pressed down with his hands. Everyone in the conference room sat down with a crash. This trick was learned by Su Tong when he was watching TV in later generations. Today is the first time he tried it. How does it feel?
Well, in short, just look at the slightly raised corners of our Chief Su's mouth.
"Everyone has fought well and worked hard during this period. I have seen these achievements. I hope everyone will report the list of meritorious personnel as soon as possible so that the staff can make statistics as soon as possible."
After a pause, Su Tong said again.
"Today we have summoned you all to hold an impromptu meeting. The content of the meeting is to appoint the names of persons in charge of Longmen Institute and Dushi Pass." Su Tong didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
Oh, here comes the words. No one expected that Su Tong didn't even say a few polite words, and went straight to the topic. Not only the Longmen Institute, but also the person in charge of Dushiguan was proposed.
"Now I order." Hua La, all the legions stood up, and several people who were qualified to compete began to feel uneasy.
"Wang Li is the temporary person in charge of the Longmen Institute theater, and he is responsible for the appropriate size of all the troops in the Longmen Institute theater, including combat operations." There was a burst of applause. No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, now that the overall situation has been decided, they must give Wang Li this fresh shot.
The face of the person in charge of the Longmen Institute war zone.
Su Tong then announced: "In view of the weak strength of the garrison at Dushi Pass, the headquarters decided to mobilize the 7th Infantry Regiment and the Wang Yingjie Regiment of the artillery to go to Dushi Pass to increase its defense strength. Chen Dazhu will be in charge of the Dushi Pass theater."
Oh, everyone suddenly realized in their hearts. This is reasonable. There is no reason to let the Longmen Institute dominate the war zone. Balance is the way to go.
After announcing the death sentence, Su Tong told all the officers to unite sincerely. If the Japanese army comes to provoke them, be polite and fight back resolutely. If anyone has good intentions, don't blame him for being rude. Everyone felt awe-inspiring and all agreed in succession.
.
After the appointment was announced, Commander Su, who had the little nurse in mind, also attended the army's celebration banquet with his subordinates, took his guard battalion and hurried to Zhangjiakou.
