This was a real contest, and the commanders of both sides immediately made the most correct response within their capabilities. The 316th Brigade led by Zhang Qinyun to launch a counter-charge against the 4th Wing, the Japanese army was not afraid at all, and the two sides started a melee near the city gate, and the artillery inside and outside the city was bursting, and the sound of killing was all over the city.

Zhang Lingfu was so anxious that he sent a telegram urging Wu Mintao of the newly formed 21st Division to rush to Huailai as soon as possible, telegraphed Guo Xunqi, and asked for air force support.

When Zhang Lingfu arrived at the east gate, the Japanese troops near the city gate had been driven out of the city, and Zhang Qinyun was directing the troops to shoot outside the city at the city gate, and the Japanese artillery shells outside the city were constantly falling near the city wall.

"Commander, why are you here? Go down! Zhang Qinyun couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zhang Lingfu running in person.

"Less nonsense! How's it going? Zhang Lingfu looked serious, picked up the binoculars and looked out of the city, the Japanese troops outside the city were rushing to the city, and the shells were constantly exploding around. Under the city, on the street, the artillery of the 316th Brigade was nervously setting up artillery.

"The devil has about a wing, more than 3,000 people, but there are follow-up troops." Mr. Zhang's answer was brief.

As he was talking, a shell exploded nearby, and the guards were startled, Zhang Lingfu did not move at all, and the military coat on his shoulders did not shake. The devils who are frantically attacking under the city are about a wing, and with Liang Liang's report, he estimates that the reinforcements will not be less than one division.

"Tell the brothers that the east gate is being defended and there is no retreat, and the new 21st Division and the 115th Division of the Guerrilla Corps are rushing over." Zhang Lingfu put down the binoculars and turned to Zhang Qinyun and said. In just a few minutes, he had already seen clearly that the devils were similar to him, and they were all in a hurry.

Zhang Lingfu had already concluded that the Japanese troops outside the city were unprepared, there were no ladders, and although the artillery fire was fierce, the artillery fire of the 105th Division did not weaken the opponent in the slightest. The 316th Brigade has a total of 4,000 people, and it is completely capable of defending the east gate.

This hasty encounter is the most important consideration of the adaptability of the commanders on both sides and the tactical literacy of the soldiers. Zhang Lingfu arrived at the east gate, Maruyama Masao also rushed to the city, gunshots and explosions in the city were heard frequently, and the Huailai garrison was still holding on and fighting.

Maruyama Masao thought calmly and ordered the 4th Wing to stop the attack, so that attacking the city in a field way would hardly gain anything except to pay huge casualties. The 16th Wing fought fiercely with the China Army outside the North Gate, and he estimated that there was at least one division of the China Army, and it was not clear whether there would be follow-up troops.

With a basic judgment hand, Maruyama Masao ordered the 4th Wing to detach a brigade to guard the south gate, and ordered the follow-up 29th Wing to immediately rush to the north gate to reinforce the 16th Wing; Then he strictly ordered the 31st Division to rush to Huailai within two hours, otherwise they had to leave Huailai.

In the southeast, more than 10 kilometers away from Huailai, the 31 st Division was rushing to Huailai by forced march along the road; they set out from the Shijingshan area this morning, and along the way they encountered three bombings by the Chinese Air Force, and their cars were completely lost, so they had to rush to Huailai on foot.

More than 10 kilometers southwest of Huailai, Chen Geng led the guerrilla corps to Huailai by force, Chen Geng stood under a pine tree, and two staff officers opened the map.

"Order Wang Jinshan to make a detour to the east of the city, and the rest of the troops speed up, and rush to Huailai to insert a knife in Okamura Ningji's butt hook!" Chen Geng was a little excited, this time the fighter caught it really well, captured Huailai in one fell swoop, threatened Beiping from the north, and grasped the initiative in the entire Pingjin Battle.

Chen Geng was very excited, and the whole army was very excited, rushing to Huailai to destroy the Japanese army in North China and recover the whole of North China to inspire the soldiers to fight for the last trace of strength. Although the two parties were politically divided, they were unanimous in their efforts to eliminate the Japanese. The Central Committee has reported the Xinjiang rebellion and reminded the front-line generals to be wary of the Kuomintang taking the opportunity to make a fuss; However, Chen Geng was not worried that the North China Theater was in the hands of Zhuang Jihua, and without Zhuang Jihua's order, the Kuomintang would not take any action.

Based on what he knows about Zhuang Jihua, he will not take military action against the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but he may use this to make some articles, but this article is more political. Speed up! Fast! Wu Mintao hurriedly ordered, and the sound of artillery in the distance was already clearly audible, and the Japanese army was attacking.

The sound of artillery was an order, so the soldiers ran forward desperately, many soldiers took off their heavy cotton clothes and threw them away, and the two soldiers ran forward bare-chested with Czech light machine guns, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from afar.

Farther south, Peng Xuefeng carried a rifle on his shoulder, and his horse rode two young soldiers, and the troops also advanced lightly, and the long line stretched out for more than ten miles.

In Zhongnanhai, the news of the loss of Huailai shocked the entire dispatch army headquarters, and Oshiro had no time to express his admiration for Okamura, Okamura's adjustment fully proved his foresight of the development of the war situation, and the adjustment came very timely, but unfortunately Matsuyama disobeyed the order, causing the entire battle situation to fall into trouble.

Contrary to most people's shock, Okamura Ninji calmed down, and he quickly concluded that the Shina Army only wanted to seize Huailai and pose a threat to the Pingjin area, but the Shina Army did not currently have the strength to attack Pingjin with the main force, at least not until the capture of Xuanhua.

"Order Maruyama Masao to continue the attack on Huailai, and order the 31st Division to speed up." Okamura Ninji ordered one after another, his tone decisive and resolute: "Order the Fifth Division to quickly approach Huailai, and it must be rushed to Huailai before tonight." The rest of the divisions followed the orders of the dispatch army headquarters and quickly adjusted, without the slightest delay! Any hesitation will be severely punished by military law! ”

After finishing speaking, Okamura Ningji paused and looked at Dacheng: "How is the situation in Zhangjiakou?" ”

Oshiro felt that Okamura hoped that he could give good news, but he didn't, and the situation in Zhangjiakou was worse than that of Huailai: "General Yoshigi called, and the Shina army occupied Yewolfgou. ”

Wild Wolf Ditch is the only place for the 129th Division of the 63rd Division to return to Zhangjiakou, this place is occupied by the Chinese Army, and the retreating 63rd Division and 129th Division are unable to escape. Okamura stared at the map silently, he was very unwilling, Zhuang Jihua used two million people to beat him with more than 400,000 troops, he was not convinced, no matter what.

Where is the chance to save the war? Okamura's eyes quickly searched the map, Tianjin, no, there are only three divisions left here, and the rest of the troops are taking advantage of the passage that the Chinese have not yet closed to retreat north, and Yokoyama Yong led his troops to nail the city of Tianjin.

In Langfang, Zhengsan by the river was carrying out a difficult northward retreat, and the Chinese army almost surrounded him, and only a narrow passage could be passed. In order to keep this passage, the 3rd Division of Toshima Botaro rushed left and right, blocking the Shina Army from both flanks, and fighting for a glimmer of life for Shozo Riverside.

In Zhuozhou, Gu Shoufu is leading his troops to retreat, his retreat is temporarily safe, and this security is only relatively speaking, the 24th Group Army and the 31st Group Army of the China Army, more than 200,000 troops are attacking fiercely, and Gu Shoufu has to leave four divisions to block it.

After crossing the Yongding River, the 1st Mechanized Army of China divided into two routes, the tank division broke through the resistance of the 56th Division, killed Pangezhuang, separated the 56th Division and the 8th Division from the 10th Division, and the other road went to Yufa, further dividing the 56th Division and the 8th Division.

There were three divisions under the command of Sue Seizan to rush and kill on the periphery, and the Chinese army stood in front of him and held the position with strong determination. In the afternoon, the Chinese tanks arrived, and the attacking 10th Division was dealt a heavy blow and was forced to retreat northward, and the 56th and 8th Divisions were surrounded between the south of Pangezhuang and the Yongding River.

Every battlefield is resisting the strong with the weak, and the Shina army is tearing a big hole in the defensive line, and the Shina general will not let go of this opportunity, and Okamura can almost conclude that the Shina general will transfer the reserves in his hands into this opening, completely sever the connection between the various departments of the imperial army, and then eat it bite by bite.

"A way must be found, defeat the China Army, defeat the China Army." Okamura muttered to himself in his heart, he was unwilling, even if he wanted to fail, it would be a brilliant failure, and the imperial army could not fail like this.

Anger and grievances made Okamura determined to organize a counterattack, and even if it failed, he would buy time for the Kwantung Army to enter the pass and save the troops as much as possible.

"The 132nd Division of the Third Division was ordered to be responsible for blocking the attack and making every effort to block the pursuing troops in China, and the rest of the troops retreating north from Langfang, Tianjin were commanded by Hebian Zhengsan, and the troops retreating from Zhuozhou were commanded by Gu Shoufu. Gu Shoufu left the 121st Division and the 26th Division in Zhuozhou to be responsible for attracting and blocking the 31st Group Army and the 24th Group Army of China, and the rest of the armies and units led by Gu Shoufu assembled in Daxing to launch a counterattack on the China Army and open up contact with the 56th Division and the 8th Division.

Ordered Hebian Zhengsan to organize troops to assemble near Qingyunzhuang and launch a counterattack against the branch army of Pangezhuang. ”

Okamura's order actually revised last night's order, but this change was still too late and would not cause much confusion to the troops, because the troops were retreating and had not reached Okamura's designated position.

"Telegraph to Masanobu Tsuji, you must hold on, I am mobilizing troops to relieve him from the siege."

Oshiro understood the reason for the change in Okamura's order, he didn't persuade him, he just silently wrote down the main points in Okamura's order, but this was only an adjustment of the troops on the southern front, but what about the northern front?

The northern front is now about to become a mess, the troops are divided and surrounded, Huailai is conquered by the Chinese army, the new security is in danger, Xuanhua is besieged, Zhuolu is besieged, and nearly 100,000 troops are in crisis.

"Order the Zhuolu 125th Division to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and order the Xuanhua 116th Division to immediately move west to Zhangjiakou, under the command of Commander Jimu, and jointly relieve the siege of the 63rd Division. As soon as the siege is lifted, immediately retreat to Rehe. ”

Okamura Ningji broke his wrist, gave up the new security guard, gave up Zhuolu, and used the new security guard and Zhuolu to attract the squadron ** and mobilize the troops to the greatest extent. In order to attract the squadron, Yasuken Nakajima must also counterattack Huailai with Maruyama Masao and defend the north gate of Beiping.! ~！
