It was agreed with Song Zheyuan that the troops would be withdrawn within three days, and Song Zheyuan would send troops to take over the defense. Tian Zheng ordered all the troops to sort out their weapons and equipment, count their ammunition, and destroy classified documents. And, most importantly, arrange for the evacuation of the wounded and martyrs.

This battle was the first time that the 54th Army had fought face-to-face with the enemy on such a large scale. This kind of positional warfare is Tian Zheng's least favorite. It is also the last tactic that Tian Zheng wants to adopt. However, Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, was lucky and slacked off in preparing for battle, which led to the rampant Japanese army and the large-scale casualties of the officers and soldiers on the front line of the 29th Army. If Tian Zheng hadn't plugged this gap in time, I'm afraid that the current Japanese army would have already broken through the defense line of Lugou Bridge and gone all the way south! Therefore, in this positional battle, Tian Zheng had to fight! I also have to fight with all my might!

This also caused considerable casualties in the 54th Army. Mainly for the troops of Yan Xiaoliu of the first regiment of guards, the number of troops was reduced by one-third! The number of minor and serious injuries is also the highest! The sudden evacuation at this moment, the remains of the wounded and martyrs who did not have time to transfer to the large rear base and the Tai'an military headquarters was a huge test for the mechanized transport team of the 54th Group Army!

Although Tian Zheng took into account the importance of logistics and transportation at the beginning of the establishment of the troops, a sufficiently powerful transport unit developed along with the development of the troops, and in addition, the 60-horsepower gasoline trucks newly developed by the Engine Research Institute of Liaocheng University were mass-produced and equipped with the troops, and the transportation pressure of the troops was greatly relieved. But apparently this is just a drop in the bucket. The troops are basically equipped with automated weapons, and the supply of ammunition alone requires transportation teams to go back and forth non-stop. Originally, the remains of the martyrs were planned according to the plan. It is expected that all of them will be returned with the ammunition transport vehicles returning in the next two or three days, and the seriously wounded will be transported back when their injuries are stable. Minor wounded can be treated on the spot with the army for short-term recovery. Those that cannot be recovered in the short term will also go back with the return of the convoy. But at this moment, Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, turned his face so suddenly. Tian Zheng's plan was completely disrupted, and he had to ask for three days to complete the orderly withdrawal of the troops.

Wang Zigang, head of the Supervision Department of the Military Command of the National Army, would come to the position every day with a red armband with the word "inspection team" on his shoulders, especially when he looked at the movements of the 54th Group Army with a thief-like look. This made the whole army complain a lot. Tian Zheng issued a death order, and no one in the whole army was allowed to discuss this matter if it belonged to the 54th Group Army. Violators will be demoted by one rank! This punishment is serious enough. Although all the officers and soldiers of the 54th Group Army breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the discussion of this matter was immediately stopped!

However, the officers and men of the 29th Army, especially the officers and men of the 110th Brigade and the 37th Division, who had been fighting side by side with the officers and men of the 54th Group for several days, were all angry and complained all day long. Combat readiness leisure time. They are also talking about the "Inspector Team", these military commanders with red armbands. The officers and men of the 29th Army privately nicknamed the "inspection team" "Red-sleeved Mad Dogs", which means that these people with red armbands want to take a bite of everyone they see, and they patrol the troops with suspicion all day long, for fear that any officer and soldier or which unit will be tempted by the Red Army's ideology or the policies of the 54th Group Army, and thus defect to the camp!

When the time came on the third day, all the people in the "inspection team" were in the queue, and they opened their eyes to see Tian Zheng directing the troops to make the most important preparations before evacuating. At present, all the main forces have been withdrawn. It has arrived at the predetermined position and is on standby. Only the heavy artillery regiment was dispatched to transport the wounded due to insufficient truck capacity and had not yet returned, and in addition to waiting for the vehicle, there was Xie Ning with the first guard regiment and the second guard regiment as accompanying guards waiting in place, according to the plan. A convoy of trucks hauling heavy artillery will arrive by 4 p.m. It's a quarter past three now. In addition to all the members of the original "inspection team" and Minister Wang Zigang, even Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, also brought some cronies of the military department to supervise.

"Commander Tian, the three-day appointment is coming. I wonder if Commander Lu Daotian can evacuate smoothly according to the plan? Song Zheyuan opened his mouth to drive people away.

Tian Zheng looked at the sky and said lightly. "I said that I would evacuate within three days, then our department will definitely not stay until the morning of the fourth day!"

Song Zheyuan nodded noncommittally. "That's good. I hope Commander Tian has a smooth journey! ”

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, a contingent of alternate transport convoys urgently dispatched from the Tai'an Military Headquarters arrived in a hurry. Tian Zheng commanded Xie Feng, the commander of the heavy artillery regiment, to start loading the heavy artillery, counting and loading the shells, and two guard regiments to assist in loading. By a quarter past four, the troops had all been loaded, and Tian Zheng waved his hand to let the troops go!

Not far away, there is a "leader" off-road car that has been successfully developed and put into production by the Engine Research Institute. This type of vehicle was named "pioneer" by Tian Zheng and used as a command vehicle for troops at all levels. The vehicle is not only equipped with the latest 90-horsepower gasoline engine, but also equipped with Tian Zheng's guidance design and successfully developed by the research institute of column cantilever shock absorbers! It is also equipped with a five-speed gearbox, which can reach a top speed of 130 yards per hour on flat roads! You can easily run to more than 80 yards on official roads!

The body is all in army green camouflage. The roof is a canvas bracket hypothetical, the canvas bracket can be retracted at any time, assuming a machine gun, from a manned vehicle can be transformed into a fire assault vehicle at any time!

Tian Zheng saw that the carry of the troops began to move, and looked at the deputy commanders of the 29th Army, Tong Linge and Feng Zhi'an, Wang Zhibang and other commanders of the 29th Army who had fought side by side and some subordinate officers behind them, Tian Zheng waved his hand from afar, and the people over there immediately saluted and responded! Tian Zheng returned the salute, and even glanced at Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, and Wang Zigang, the head of the Military Command Supervision Department, who was in a bad mood, and turned around and got into the "Pioneer" brand command car!

The troops did not go far. It was only after withdrawing from the 37th Division's defensive ground that it began to turn to Tongzhou. Since Zhang Qingyu, the security team in Tongzhou, led his troops to revolt, there has been no Japanese army in Tongzhou for the time being. The geographical location of Tongzhou is very important, and the transportation is relatively developed, so it is a military location. However, because of the Japanese army's battle, the frontal troops suffered too much damage, and the supply sources of the Kwantung Army and the Japanese mainland base camp had not yet arrived, and the Japanese army did not have the strength to control Tongzhou for the time being, and only the deterrence of the Japanese air force. In the eyes of the Japanese army, Tongzhou was already within the range of the aviation unit, and the bombers could reach the sky at any time, even if they did not have the troops to deploy Tongzhou for the time being, no force would dare to drive a large force to Tongzhou!

"Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army didn't dare. Tian Zheng of the 54th Group Army has always regarded the lives of officers and soldiers as the first, and he did not dare! ”

This is the commander of the Japanese front command, the commander of the infantry brigade of the garrison army, and the commander of the infantry brigade of the garrison army, said Seiji Kazuki!

But what he didn't expect was that Tian Zheng's order to the troops was to take Tongzhou as the core and reconnoiter and monitor the surrounding Daxing, Xianghe, and the surrounding areas, while the two main combat divisions of the 162nd Division and the 127th Division were placed in the place between Tongzhou and Shunyi to build a position, making a defensive posture against Japan!

Tongzhou, at this moment is the location of the military headquarters of the 54th Group Army!

Kazuki Kiyoji first gritted his teeth angrily in the command headquarters, "Tian Zheng! 54th Army! You are really deceiving people! But then Kazuki Kiyoji was overjoyed, "Since you are here, then let you taste the power of my great Japanese air force!" I'll make you dance under the shells of the planes! ”

Long before the troops began to enter Tongzhou, Tian Zheng had already ordered the engineering regiment to assist the ground air defense detachment of the aviation flight brigade in building a radar station and setting up an anti-aircraft machine gun position! At this moment, Tian Zheng is in the military headquarters renovated from the original government in Tongzhou City, preparing fragrant tea and snacks and high-quality Liaocheng special alcohol flue-cured tobacco fragrant cigarettes, quietly waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests!

Because in the afternoon, Wang Mei said to Tian Zheng, "The leaders sent by the central government are almost here!" ”

Tian Zheng asked Wang Mei which leader she was, Wang Mei covered her mouth and smiled, "The leader's itinerary must be kept absolutely confidential!" The principle of confidentiality at this time! ”

So Tian Zheng had to be excited now, but he had no choice but to wait. Naturally, there is anxiety in the bottom of my heart. "I don't know which great man will come this time? It's been more than seven years since I crossed over, and I haven't been able to see a great man. Today, I can see the demeanor of the great man, and it is not worth passing through!
