The railway station was captured by the first battalion of Zhang Dabiao's department, and then the soldiers of the first battalion, under the command of Zhang Dabiao, rushed south along both sides of the Qingshui River in the urban area, and the Japanese troops who were blocked along the way were defeated and retreated.

The news of the loss of the railway station was quickly brought back to the headquarters of the 52nd Brigade of the Japanese Army in the inner city by the rout soldiers in the direction of the north gate of the devil.

"Nani? The railway station was lost, and all the defenders were killed? Kumagai Mataya died in battle? Hearing the report of the rout at the north gate, Oda Matsuji looked incredulous.

Although he had received news that the train station was about to be lost, Oda Matsuji also ordered the heralds to pass the order to Kumagai Matata to lead the remnants to withdraw to the inner city.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be late, which made Oda Matsuji surprised when he heard the news that almost all the devil remnants of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 103rd Infantry Wing commanded by Kumagai were killed at the train station.

"Yes, brigade commander. The enemy troops besieging the railway station were at least 2,000 men, and the fire of mortars, infantry guns, and light and heavy machine guns was very strong. Captain Kumagai has no way to fight his way out of the encirclement! Captain Kumagai and dozens of Imperial warriors eventually died near the platform of the train station! The devil reported tremblingly.

With a wave of his hand, let the reported devil rout down, and the old devil Oda Matsuji frowned. If the Beimen Railway Station is lost, Zhang Dabiao's troops will attack all the way south along both sides of the Qingshui River and the main street of the North City.

It won't be long before the enemy army will reach the vicinity of Zhangjiakou's inner city.

For Oda Matsuji, the situation is already in a state of deterioration.

Thinking of this, Oda Matsuji's eyes were not good.

At this time, the brigade chief of staff on the side, Ken Yamanoda, said loudly: "Brigade commander, there are not many blocking troops on the main streets and arteries in the northern urban area, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand it for long. The other side will hit the vicinity of the headquarters, will it send some troops to reinforce the blocking troops in the streets of the northern urban area to buy some time? ”。

"The two squadrons directly under the brigade headquarters will be transferred to the north to strengthen the strength of the blocking troops in the main streets of the northern urban area. Buy some time to put it! Looking at the map, Oda Matsuji, who was still thinking about guarding Zhangjiakou, waved his hand and said to Ken Yamanoda.

Ken Yamanoda said in a condensed voice: "Understood, brigade commander. ”。

Then Ken Yamanoda waved his hand and ordered a devil staff officer on the side to immediately send someone to give an order, and the two squadrons around the brigade headquarters responsible for protecting the command headquarters were transferred to the north to block the onslaught of Zhang Dabiao's troops as much as possible.

After the arrangement was made, Oda Matsuji said to Ken Yamanoda: "Chief of Staff, has the Front Army Command called back?" ”。

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

Yamanoda Ken paused and then said in a low voice: "I have already reported the current battle situation in Zhangjiakou to the Front Army Headquarters in detail, brigade commander, even if we give up Zhangjiakou, I believe that His Excellency General Tada will understand our situation." ”。

"I hope so!" Listening to the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer, Oda Matsuji's mood was not so relaxed! 16k Chinese

At this time, when the battle in Zhangjiakou was fierce, the Japanese army defending the enemy in Zhangjiakou sent an urgent telegram for help to the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the Beiping Devils.

At this time, it was an hour before the early hours of the morning, and Beiping City was already quiet. There were less than 10 devils on duty at the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in the city, but the devil staff officer in charge of duty was shocked after receiving an urgent telegram from Zhangjiakou from the communications office of the front army.

Immediately, the staff officer on duty immediately hurried to the door of Tada Jun's resting place and knocked on the door violently.

"Bageyalu, who!"

The staff officer on duty of the devil couldn't care about Tada Jun's anger, and knocked directly on the door and shouted: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Commander, I am Wild Jiro on duty, and there is an urgent call for help from Zhangjiakou!" Zhangjiakou was suddenly attacked by a new regiment of Li Yunlong's division of the Eighth Route Army, and the battle was raging. At present, the north gate of Zhangjiakou has been lost. ”。

When Tada Jun, who was screaming in a daze, heard this, he immediately jumped up from his bed and hurried to the door to open the door.

"Eight Tooth Road! Go, Command Room! Tada Jun glanced at the telegram, which surprised Tada Jun, and then said urgently.

The staff officer on duty of the devil immediately said: "Hai, Your Excellency Commander! ”。

Then, Tada Jun and Wild Jiro hurried back to the headquarters command room, at this time the headquarters was already brightly lit, and the officers of the Devil Front Army who had learned the news had arrived.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the defenders of Zhangjiakou have sent another urgent telegram, which has confirmed that the enemy army that raided Zhangjiakou is the new regiment of Li Yunlong's troops of the Eighth Route Army. According to the reports of the defenders of each gate, the strength of the attacking enemy army is at least about six or seven thousand. At present, the defenders are not optimistic, the north gate has been lost, and the stronghold of the railway station in the north of the city has been lost. In addition, the ancient city of Wanquan west of Zhangjiakou has been captured by Li Yunlong's troops, and the defenders of the West Gate are almost unable to defend the West Gate. In addition, the commanding heights of Rentou Mountain in the east of the city are also about to collapse, and the defenders may not be able to hold Rentou Mountain. ”

The Japanese staff officer who was already on duty had put the map of Zhangjiakou on the huge table in the command room of the headquarters, and a staff officer on duty saw that Tada Jun had already walked around the map, and immediately pointed to the map and reported in detail.

Tada Jun's eyes were solemn and his face was gloomy.

Li Yunlong's troops actually ran back so quickly, looking at this posture, they wanted to withdraw to the Guannai through Zhangjiakou!

And Li Yunlong's troops had previously fought in Xuanhua, the northern foothills of Baishan Mountain, and the southern foothills, and were familiar with the terrain. Once they were allowed to go south through Zhangjiakou, then Li Yunlong commanded his troops to run to the mountains at the northern foot of Baishan Mountain, and Tada Jun would be dumbfounded.

"Call back Oda Matsuji in Zhangjiakou and stick to Zhangjiakou! The imperial troops stationed in Yulin, Xuanhua, Shacheng, Xin'an and other places south of Zhangjiakou were strictly ordered to eliminate all difficulties and quickly go north to reinforce them! The defenders of Chicheng were ordered to march west along the three forks, Longmen, Longmen Pass, and Zhaochuan Town to reinforce the defenders of Zhangjiakou. Told Oda Matsuji that he must hold Zhangjiakou and block Li Yunlong's troops from trying south. It's early in the morning, and it's less than forty minutes before dawn. Let them wait for reinforcements, and I will immediately order the aviation troops at Nanyuan Airport to send fighter planes to reinforce them! Tada Jun roared angrily.

The devil staff officer immediately replied, "Hai, Your Excellency the Commander. Then someone left in a hurry and sent someone to send a telegram back to Oda Matsuji.

At this time, Tada Jun continued to order a devil staff officer of the headquarters: "Send a report to Matsui Ishine about the attack on Zhangjiakou by Li Yunlong's department, and tell Matsui Ishine what he is chasing?" Is it loneliness? Li Yunlong's troops have all hit Zhangjiakou! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander." A staff officer of the Devil Command secretly pity Matsui Ishine in his heart, both of them have the rank of general, but unfortunately, Matsui Ishine commanded more than half of the casualties of the 3rd Division, and it is no wonder that Tada Jun has been merciless and directly telegraphed and despised Matsui Ishine at this time.
