PS: I just saw the 50,000 reward from book friend "Ning Xiaojia", and Feng Yue was moved to tears. Today, Feng Yue has seen all the rewards from book friends. If I didn't say anything, I will add an update. There will be an update later.
........
Liu Lang spared the Sixth Division and headed straight to the north of Rehe.
The remnants of the old rival 8th Division are still lingering in the north of Rehe, but they are not something Liu Lang and the others can shake.
Then he can only find helpers, and Liu Lang is looking for a lot of people.
He Yizhi, the double-faced spy who is still in the Great Wall Army, provided him with a very important piece of information, which reminded Liu Lang of the guy he had always admired. It turned out that he was still the same as before in time and space.
Already.
Rather than saying that Liu Lang led two special forces soldiers to go north this time to continuously cause trouble for the Sixth Division, it is better to say that Liu Lang actually did it just because he wanted to go north to Rehe.
In other words, if Masaemon Sakamoto had set out one day later, Liu Lang would have left without having time to chat with him here.
If we don't leave, our old rival, the 8th Division, will have enough to eat and run away.
Not to mention that Liu Lang and the three of them ran wildly towards the north of Rehe at night.
After reconnaissance by Ling Hong and others, it was found that except for one regiment of the main Japanese army that was stationed at Xifengkou for another day as a follow-up force, most of the remaining troops had already gone to Chengde. Another day later, the Japanese infantry regiment that served as the rear force was stationed at Xifengkou for another day.
They also left the customs one after another, and there was no longer a single Japanese soldier in Xifengkou.
After waiting for another day and night in Qinglong Mountain, the Chengde people and the two infantry battalions of the Great Wall Regiment and the artillery company, a total of more than 1,500 people, left Qinglong Mountain and set off towards Peiping.
At this time, Masaemon Sakamoto was furious at being harassed by Liu Lang and the others. He had no idea that there were not only the 2,000 troops of the Great Wall Regiment but also nearly 20,000 Chengde civilians in the Great Wall Mountains. When he arrived in Chengde, he finally found out.
It's already too late.
The reason why Okamura Neiji sighed and said that this was the best opportunity to eliminate Liu Lang was because he was referring to the 20,000 Chengde people. If he had known earlier, the Great Wall Regiment would definitely be his thorn in the side. A well-trained army could easily penetrate the mountains.
It's scary, but if you take 20,000 people with you, you will undoubtedly tie yourself up. As long as the Sixth Division continues the search resolutely, the slow-moving 20,000 people will definitely not be able to hide for long. Correspondingly, the Great Wall Regiment cannot abandon the people.
There is absolutely no way to escape the encirclement and suppression by nearly 40,000 troops.
But by the time Sakamoto Masaemon and Okamura Neji woke up, it was already four days later.
Under the escort of the Great Wall Regiment, the huge crowd had traveled more than 200 miles and was almost reaching Peiping.
The Northern Military Commission, which had already received the news, dispatched a small number of vehicles to help transport the people evacuated from Jehol Province.
The Great Wall Regiment sent a telegram to the Northern Military Commission on the second day after its departure. The number of civilians mentioned in the telegram almost frightened General He who was still in charge of the overall situation.
Admiral He knew that the Great Wall Regiment could fight, but retreating from Jehol to Pingjin with 20,000 people was not something that could be accomplished by fighting.
Such great courage and wisdom.
However, thinking about what the daring Liu Lang has done in the past month, is there anything he has done that he was too timid about? Admiral He could only smile helplessly. If that guy hadn't been unable to come due to illness, he would have really wanted to
I immediately saw that daring guy. Last time in Songhu, he failed to personally put the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal on the fat man. This time, he will definitely not leave any regrets.
But after the brief surprise, there was excitement, extreme excitement.
After sending the telegram to the old man in Nanchang, General He directly ordered that the Great Wall Regiment's telegram be classified as a first-class secret and could not be reported to anyone except him.
It wasn't until another day passed that it was confirmed that the Great Wall Regiment and the people had walked hundreds of miles and entered the defense area of hundreds of thousands of troops, then General He ordered all the cars that had been prepared to dispatch to respond.
For security reasons, the Northern Military Commission kept the news secret, but not only sent out its few cars to help the people move supplies and transport women, children and the elderly, but even sent a second
A brigade from the 19th Army came to escort us.
It can be said that the Nationalist Government has never paid so much attention to the people of a fallen city, which made the people of Chengde feel a little flattered.
But this is not the glory enjoyed by the people of Chengde and the Great Wall Regiment.
On the day before tens of thousands of people were about to arrive in Peiping, when Sakamoto Masaemon and Okamura Neji looked at the Great Wall and sighed, all newspapers and magazines in Peiping published the same headline on their front pages: Welcome Home.
Yes, the Nationalist Government used the greatest enthusiasm to publicize the incident of Chengde people's retreat from Rehe to Pingjin. It can even be said that they were doing their best.
It’s not that these 20,000 people are worthy of such a big fanfare by the National Government. A population of 20,000 is certainly a lot for a small country, but for China, which has a population of 40 million, it is definitely just a drop in the ocean. The people who have escaped from the north in the past two years are
The number of refugees far exceeds 20,000, and the Nationalist government has never been so enthusiastic. Even the porridge in the soup kitchen prepared for the refugees can be seen in the shadows.
People are not the most important thing. What is important is the meaning of their return. More importantly, they can divert attention.
Yes, Liu Lang, who was on the front line, didn't know that because he defeated the Eighth Division, the Nationalist Government still signed the "Tanggu Agreement" as it had in time and space, and how much public anger it aroused.
If possible, several big bosses even hoped that if Liu Lang had never won such a victory and signed a humiliating treaty after a big defeat, they might have suffered a little less scorn.
Yes, it's sad, but this is the reality, the cruel reality.
All acts of war must first serve the dirty so-called politics.
In the past time and space, the signing of a humiliating treaty after a great defeat had already made several big bosses feel the spittle in the mouths of the boiling people from a distance. What's more, Liu Lang, who was born out of nowhere, played such a dazzling performance again and again this time.
victory.
The big guys have been almost scolded by the literati these days, and in one city after another, people taking to the streets to demonstrate have become as common as drinking boiled water.
Especially in the north, the largest city in Peiping, led by the most radical students, demonstrators even surrounded the office area of the Northern Military Commission.
General He has not left his house for two days. If there was not a division of the Central Division stationed in Beiping City, the door to General He's office might have been kicked in by the people.
At this moment when all the officials seemed to be sitting in the crater of a volcano every day, 20,000 Chengde people returned.
An entire city of people refused to succumb to the rule of the Japanese invaders and decided to return to the motherland. Regardless of the bayonets and muzzles of the Japanese invaders, they walked hundreds of miles back to the embrace of the motherland. This was very difficult for the national government, which was struggling with the boiling public opinion.
That said, it can be called timely rain.
It must be publicized and vigorously promoted, plus the return of the "hero group" the Great Wall Group, although the news about the Great Wall Group only occupied a small space in the newspaper.
But as seasoned politicians expected, this "Welcome Home" report, which was exaggerated by political writers, successfully diverted the public's attention.
The whole of Peiping was boiling, and every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to welcome the 20,000 Chengde people who had retreated from Rehe and the heroic regiment that defeated the Japanese aggressors step by step in this failed war.
Everyone, forget for the moment the humiliating treaty signed by the stupid government.
Looking forward to the huge crowd dozens of miles away.
