Tong Linge said, "I'm not happy at all. This shows that there is indeed a spy around the military seat."
Zhao Dengyu said nonchalantly, "We still need to thank him, right? If we win a big victory this time, we will give him a big medal."
I only saw that the southwest defenders counterattacked for a while and were so suppressed by the Japanese artillery fire that they could not even draw out their guns. It looked like our army had been defeated.
Bunzaburo Kawagishi nodded and said, "Order the infantry to advance."
I saw that the Japanese troops were constantly like waves, covering each other according to combat groups. Even though there was no counterattack from the opposite side, the Japanese troops did not relax at all. They only stood up and charged when they were only tens of meters away from the defense line, but they were fully prepared.
The Japanese soldiers who were fighting found that they could not find their opponents at all. They could only see no one on the front line. A few sharp-eyed soldiers noticed the backs of several deserters in the distance.
"The Chinese army has escaped!!!" a soldier shouted loudly. The captain of the 77th regiment, Yuta Seze, who led the attack, saw this scene and couldn't help shouting excitedly, "Warriors of the empire, follow me to chase the enemy."
But those tanks were in trouble. I wonder if the Nanyuan defenders had known for a long time that the Japanese army had a large number of tanks. They only saw a three-meter-deep and three-meter-deep hole made more than 20 meters in front of the fortification.
There were only a few lanes in the wide tank trench that could be passed by people, but these tanks did not dare to drive up it at all. These tanks drove back to their starting positions, ready to wait for the next order. From then on, the Japanese tank troops
The infantry and infantry were thus separated.
It stands to reason that the Japanese army would be suspicious after seeing such a situation, but after learning that the southwest corner was the weak point of the Nanyuan defenders, the Japanese army only believed that the 29th Army's defense was just a cover-up.
When Bunzaburo Kawagishi received the news that the southwest defenders had collapsed, he kept nodding and saying "Yo Xi". This battle seemed to be simpler than imagined. The Chinese army was really vulnerable.
The Japanese troops in the vanguard chased the deserters in front and rushed over. Since they basically passed through the defense line unscathed, the Japanese troops completely relaxed their vigilance. The initial battle formation gradually became scattered. From the sky, you can see that the Japanese troops were concentrated from the very beginning.
The iron fist turned into a scattered pie.
Zhao Dengyu, who was holding a telescope, nodded and said, "Okay, the Japanese chariots have stopped outside. We can close the network!!"
The Japanese troops who were feinting to attack were the first to realize something was wrong. The 29th Army they faced seemed to be feinting. Both sides were crackling and fighting, but there was no real progress at all. However, when they learned that the main force had already invaded Nanyuan,
They relaxed their vigilance again. What they didn't know was that the opposite side of them was actually crowded with troops. These troops began to move toward the southwest in an orderly manner. At this time, the Japanese army on the southwest position only had one squadron of guard troops, and the other troops had already
Go straight to the center and prepare to capture Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu and others alive.
The squadron was all talking and laughing, not vigilant at all, not even a single scout was sent. By the time they discovered something was wrong, the soldiers of the 29th Army had already passed through the passage and were only ten meters away from them, and there was a burst of grenade explosions.
The clarion call for counterattack.
"Introduce the troops into the urn, I want to see how strong you are, send out flares, and let Commander Deng attack. Order the troops to defend the defense line, and we must buy time." Zhao Dengyu shouted loudly, and Tong Linge said with a smile, "It looks like it should be
There is no problem anymore. Order the special brigade to attract the enemy’s feint troops and prevent them from leaving. Order the artillery regiment to fire!!”
This is a warlord. Even if it is a single unit, battle orders must be issued separately. You ask your people to fight, and I ask my people to fight. We will discuss how to fight together, and there must be no chaos.
For a time, the artillery positions hidden outside Nanyuan took off their gun jackets. Although they were all 75 mountain guns and 82 mortars, they were enough to deal with the exposed Japanese troops. Nanyuan, which had been ravaged by Japanese artillery fire for a day, finally received the
The roar of the motherland's army came, and the small mortars scattered in various places also launched artillery bombardments. After chasing the hesitating captain of the 77th Regiment Yuta Ze in Nanyuan for a while, it seemed as if he was seeing the end of the world. He only saw continuous
The artillery fire exploded around him. Although it was not accurate and the caliber was not large, it immediately threw the entire army into chaos. Countless Japanese soldiers were overturned by the shock wave of the artillery shells. Countless ordnance flew everywhere, and the sand was gradually covered with blood.
Soaked up. At this time, they had been away from the defense line for more than ten minutes, and they could not escape at all for a while.
Bloody hand-to-hand combat had already begun within the defense line. The soldiers of the 29th Army were holding broadswords and slashing and killing the Japanese troops indiscriminately. The Japanese army did not expect that the 29th Army would counterattack, and they were killed and retreated steadily.
When Bunzaburo Kawagishi saw such a tragic scene, he didn't know that he had won the jackpot. In such a place and in such a situation, his main infantry force was surrounded by the Chinese army.
The other troops had not arrived at this time. After all, he did not expect to break into Nanyuan so quickly. The fastest follow-up troops would take about half an hour. During this time, he suddenly had no infantry available.
Bunzaburo Kawagishi calmed down as quickly as possible and issued several orders: "Order the follow-up troops to arrive at the battlefield within 20 minutes, otherwise the military law will be engaged, and the tank troops will be ordered to attack Nanyuan from the due south direction. This way
They cannot dig too long a tank trench, so they order the aviation force to immediately provide tactical guidance and order the feint troops on both sides to attack with all their strength and cooperate with the tank troops to break through the enemy's defenses."
At this time, the Japanese regiment in Nanyuan had already demonstrated its superb qualities. While lying down to avoid the bombardment, it continuously counterattacked the 29th Army, which was attacking from all directions.
But a tremor in the earth made the captain leading the team feel an ominous feeling in his heart. He took the risk to stand up and took a look with a telescope, and saw that there was a steady stream of cavalry charging towards him.
Here came the main force of the 9th Cavalry Division. These men from the Chinese border held sabers in their hands and shouted like wild wolves. The artillery also cooperated and slowly stopped the bombardment. These cavalrymen waved their sabers skillfully.
, reaping the lives of the Japanese army. Since the Japanese army's formation has been completely dispersed due to the pursuit, Nanyuan is a flat school ground. For a time, the 9th Cavalry Division seemed to be in a deserted land. The heads were being killed and the blood was flowing like a river. Zheng Dazhang was stunned.
Shouting happily. The 77th Wing was chased everywhere and ran away, completely losing command for a while. From a high altitude, it looked like a massacre.
But Zhao Dengyu and Tong Linge only laughed for less than forty minutes before they couldn't laugh anymore. The news that the Japanese tank troops were gathering in the south made them feel chilled from head to toe.
Soon bad news came.
The combined impact of more than a hundred tanks caused the entire defensive special brigade to collapse in less than ten minutes. The 29th Army, which did not have any anti-tank capabilities, even used human bomb tactics when facing tanks, but faced the flat ground.
Due to the harsh terrain and the desperate onslaught of the Japanese troops, the special brigade suffered more than 300 casualties within 20 minutes after the Japanese tanks entered the battle, and was about to collapse across the board.
It only took one minute for Zhao Dengyu and Tong Linge to jointly judge that the Nanyuan defense battle had failed. Zhao Dengyu and Tong Linge, who were accustomed to Chinese warlord-style battles, did not even set up multiple lines of defense.
Tong Linge sighed, "We can only fight with them, buy time for the cavalry, let them seize the time to eliminate the Japanese troops in the encirclement. In addition, let the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns be concentrated in the south, and work with the Second Regiment of the Special Operations Brigade to fight for more time."
.”
Zhao Dengyu shook his head and said, "We can no longer win. Now we should try our best to retreat the troops to Beiping City."
Tong Linge nodded in agreement, looked at the map and pointed at Dahongmen and said, "We will withdraw our troops here and use the terrain here to block the attack."
Zhao Dengyu said, "If we send a message to the military, the information will probably be betrayed. Why don't we just say retreat without mentioning the location."
After the discussion was finalized, Zhao Dengyu immediately sent a message to Peiping, announcing that the battle had been lost. Our army was prepared to continue to resist with death and hoped that the military would make a decision as soon as possible.
When Song Zheyuan received the news, he was so frightened that he sat down on his stool - lost? The 29th Army is going to play? The Northwest Army is going to play? The Northwest Army that has been established for decades is going to perish in his own hands?
Song Zheyuan seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Where is Fengtai? How is it over there in Fengtai?"
On the Fengtai battlefield, countless Japanese soldiers were cheering. Under the defense of countless bunker machine guns and artillery, the 37th Division left corpses on the ground and fled in defeat. More than a dozen aircraft were chasing the remnants of the 37th Division.
Zhang Yueting shook Song Zheyuan violently and said, "Commander, please wake up, we have to make a decision immediately."
Song Zheyuan was in a trance and gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, the people of the 29th Army are the most important. Order the defenders to meet Nanyuan's troops, and immediately ask Mayor Qin, Commander Zhang and Commander Feng to come for a meeting."
After Song Zheyuan arranged for reinforcements, he sat alone in his room and thought secretly. It must be said that Song Zheyuan at this time no longer had any heroic spirit, but was exactly the same as Zhang Xiaoliu back then.
Song Zheyuan first comforted himself that he still had so many troops. It didn't mean that there was really no chance of a comeback. He also thought that if the Japanese just wanted Pingjin, didn't he still have Chahar and Hebei?
Too bad. What if the Japanese just want to teach themselves a lesson and admit their mistakes? The more I think about it, the better it becomes. Finally, I concluded, "We still need to talk. Fighting is useless. Only peace talks can solve the problem."
.”
So a warlord is still a warlord after all.
So who should be allowed to go to the peace talks? Song Zheyuan himself will not go. Let’s not talk about the traitor charge. He can’t put himself in danger. Who should be allowed to go?
Not to mention that Song Zheyuan was enjoying himself there.
Tong Linge led the guard battalion and air defense troops to find a slightly higher place to set up defenses. After a while, Tong Linge saw countless steel monsters chasing the scattered soldiers of the 29th Army. These northwest men were all veterans of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and they kept breaking their wrists.
Separate troops to block the enemy.
Tong Linge said to the anti-aircraft gun, "Shoot at those tanks, aim accurately!!" After saying that, Tong Linge personally operated an anti-aircraft gun and took aim. With a fierce shot, the little Douding who was running happily was beaten to death
fragments.
The Northwest Army's troop training is strict, but there is a requirement. The superior must fulfill it before the subordinate can do it. As the military training commander, Tong Linge, any weapon can play a sufficient role in his hands.
The four Sulotong S5-106 20mm anti-aircraft guns successfully pushed back the Japanese tank troops. Tong Linge shouted at the sight of it, "Quick! The Japanese are about to bombard us!" Fortunately, these are lightweight anti-aircraft guns.
It can be dragged by horses. Sure enough, Tong Linge didn't walk long before a barrage of artillery shells hit the artillery position just now.
Tong Linge gathered the defeated army in this way and entangled the Japanese army with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Deng on the other side also desperately urged his cavalry to continuously charge and kill. At this time, the 77th Regiment had successfully reorganized the army and set up defenses.
At the position, the 9th Cavalry Division could no longer rush into the Japanese army to fight. Finally, Deng had no choice but to order a retreat, and the commander of the 77th Regiment, Yuta Zeze, also sat down on the ground. He didn't even know when his pants got wet.
At this time, the belated Chinese garrison finally arrived on the battlefield. Under attack from several sides, the Nanyuan troops completely collapsed. The same great rout as in history began. At this time, the Japanese air force reinforcements also arrived, and the air force continued to fire at the ground.
On the way the 29th Army retreated, one could constantly see fragmented corpses shot by heavy machine guns from aircraft.
Since ancient times, there have been very few armies that retreated without being defeated. Unfortunately, the 29th Army was not among these few. Although the collapsed 29th Army was organized by Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu and others, it was unable to defeat the Japanese cavalry, tanks, and aircraft.
After continuous division, it eventually became a mess.
Tong Linge finally found Zhao Dengyu and said, "We can't do this. The casualties will be too great. Someone must be behind us."
Zhao Dengyu held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other and said, "I am the commander of this battle. It is my responsibility to end the battle like this. I have no shame in going back to see the military commander. Tong Linge, you take the brothers and leave first. I will come to the rear!"
When the Nanyuan troops fled back to Peiping, less than 6,000 people were left. Fortunately, because the intelligence was not reported to Song Zheyuan, the Nanyuan troops' retreat route was not exposed. None of the important generals died, except Zhao Dengyu, who was at the rear.
He was injured by the plane, but fortunately his injuries were not serious and he was sent to Baoding Hospital in the rear.
When Zheng Dazhang, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu and others returned to Peiping, they happened to arrive at Song Zheyuan's meeting.
The main generals of the 29th Army gathered together to discuss the future matters.
After some discussion, it was decided to withdraw the troops but not the government. This was to give them room for maneuver in case the Japanese army really did not want to occupy Peiping. The person left behind was poor Zhang Zizhong. After all, he had traveled to Japan and was not like
Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu and others are not sociable, and the most important thing is that Zhang Zizhong is ill. Since you can't leave, I will complete this task for you.
Zhang Zizhong was so angry that he cried after hearing the news. He said to Qin Dechun, "You and Mr. Song have become national heroes. I am afraid that I have become a traitor."
The reason for withdrawing from Peiping is that tens of thousands of troops will soon attack the border. However, there are still a large number of cities including Tianjin that are still in the hands of the 29th Army. Of course, these places cannot be abandoned, so they are directly ordered to do something cheap. Now that's good
, other troops thought this was a veiled expression of counterattack. For a time, the whole land of Pingjin and Tianjin was in flames, with battles between the Japanese army and the 29th Army everywhere, which made the Japanese army think that the 29th Army was preparing for a full-scale counterattack.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, Ning Dianwu led the 1st Security Squadron to recapture the Tianjin East Station; Zhu Chunfang, commander of the 26th Independent Brigade, led his troops to recapture the Tianjin Main Station and took advantage of the victory to capture the Beining Railway General Administration where the Japanese army was entrenched; the officers and soldiers who captured the Dongjuzi Airport
They burned more than 10 Japanese aircraft; Qi Guangyuan commanded the Pistol Regiment and the 3rd Squadron of the Security Regiment at 2 o'clock in the morning, inserted into Liuli Platform from Balitai, attacked the Japanese barracks Haiguang Temple, and occupied the East Parking Lot, stationed in Dagu.
The 2nd Battalion of the 224th Regiment of the 112th Brigade of the 38th Division continuously repelled the Japanese troops who attempted to forcefully cross the Hai River to capture Dagukou, destroyed many enemy boats, and destroyed the Japanese military trestle.
At 12 o'clock at night, Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, the captains of the 1st and 2nd corps of the Jidong Security Brigade, jointly sent a telegram announcing the uprising. They closed the Tongzhou city gate, cut off traffic, occupied the telecommunications bureau and radio station, surrounded the Jidong puppet government, and captured the generals alive.
The traitor Yin Rugeng (he escaped after being transported to the city of Peiping, and later moved from Imai to Peiping for protection). A section of the security team went to Xicang to capture the Japanese spy agency chief Shigeru Hosiki. He was shot dead on the spot because of his stubborn resistance. The remaining agents were killed by the Japanese army.
Despite the stubborn resistance, Zhang Qingyu decided to attack by fire. The battle lasted until 9 a.m. on the 29th, wiping out more than 300 Japanese troops and more than 300 spies. The 2nd District Team of the 1st Corps of the Security Corps, led by Captain Su Lianzhang, wiped out more than 200 Japanese troops stationed in Shunyi County.
