The regimental river ambush was foggy for a long time afterward, and the RB people never believed that a wing of Kobayashi Hengichi would not be able to defeat the other party's two regiments, but the battlefield was cleaned very cleanly, and the Chinese army was taken away whether they were dead or alive, but they just threw the dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers all over the ground, about to count, there were 3,000 corpses! Leading the team to investigate the scene was Major General Yoshito Takagi, commander of the 39th Brigade of the 77th and 78th Wings, who received the news at TJ and personally led his direct troops to rush over.

It is said that when the major general ordered the bodies of all the war dead to be collected and cremated, he cried a rare lot, and swore to God that he would take revenge, find out the real culprit who killed these people, and chop him up and feed him to the dogs! Salute to these imperial warriors who died in China.

Later, the RB military department sent people to search around the scene, and indeed found traces of ambushes by another Chinese army in Yinmajing and other places, but there were only traces, but there was no evidence that could provide identification, and the destruction of the 78th Wing was also hung up as an unsolved case.

The mystery was revealed, that is, after the complete fall of the Pingjin area, the Japanese army found Kobayashi Heng's bloody military uniform in the garrison barracks of the 219th Regiment of the Chinese Army in Changxindian - at that time, the RB people thought that Kobayashi must have been martyred, and sent a letter to his family in China, and it was a consolation, and there was an oolong incident.

Dai Xiaodian also regretted it, not only the negligence of the military flag, but more importantly, he was ashamed of his timidity, he never thought that it would be a major general who would personally be responsible for reinforcements and exploration, if he had known, he should have found a way to mobilize some troops, in addition to a big Zuo, and then get a major general, I/*** Dai Xiaodian is less than 20 years old, and he will probably be able to mix with a general!

Of course, this is just a random YY in his heart, RB Dazuo can catch it, which is a rare accident, but a major general, they can't afford to lose it anyway! Besides, do you really think that the planes, tanks, and armored vehicles of the RB people are dry food? A major general who is under siege will definitely alarm the RB War Department, and all Japanese troops in China will definitely spare their lives to save him - even if it is impossible to solve the last step, he will choose to commit suicide or be killed by the guards, and the shame of being captured by the Chinese is absolutely unacceptable to them.

The time of the day passed quickly, and Zhao Dengyu didn't ask. As soon as Xiao Lin Heng was seriously injured, he fell into a coma after a few words of scolding, so scared that Zhao Dengyu didn't dare to do it no matter how angry he was. And just when he was anxious that he couldn't get the other party's confession, the North China form changed!

First of all, the battle in the city of TJ began, and the Japanese suffered a certain amount of casualties. The RB people did not expect that the Chinese would take the lead in provoking the war, and in a fit of anger, they made a decision to completely solve the North China incident, and the Japanese troops stationed in Shanhaiguan quickly marched forward, passed all the way, and killed the Chinese defenders to a great defeat, and then met with the garrison troops stationed here who had just fought a series of battles with the 38th Division, and around 1 pm on the 28th, they drove the 38th Division, the security team and other forces out of TJ City (the text is not completely described according to the time course, just for the sake of smooth reading).

That's not all, the RB people were in a bad mood by three consecutive battles, and the military department quickly made a move to eliminate the Chinese defenders in the Pingjin area in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the first step for the imperial state to completely control North China! -- The so-called three battles refer to the TJ Battle, the Langfang Battle, and the Guang'anmen Incident -- which is also considered to be the trigger for the full-scale outbreak of the fighting, and its course is roughly as follows.

The Guang'anmen incident occurred after the battle in Langfang, according to the agreement reached between the Japanese side and Song Zheyuan, on the 26th, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Wing of the garrison army, Guangbe Zhongzuo, led the troops to arrive at Fengtai Station at 14 o'clock on the 26th, and transferred to 26 cars to go to Guang'anmen.

Unexpectedly, due to the initial victory of the battle in Langfang, Song Zheyuan seemed to have confidence, his attitude suddenly became tough, the city gate was closed, and the Japanese army was not allowed to enter at all, after the 29th Army military adviser Sakurai and others negotiated, the city gate was opened at 19 o'clock in the afternoon, and the vehicles of the Guangbe Brigade began to enter the city, and the third car had just passed, and the defenders on the city wall suddenly opened fire!

Hirobe ordered the cars to speed up, and as a result, 12 cars drove into the city, while the rest were kept out, and the two sides began to exchange fire! The Japanese casualties were very heavy, and the commander of the three brigades of the river in Fengtai immediately sent reinforcements upon hearing the news. Those who did not enter the city were assembled under the isolation of the Chinese army.

At about 2 a.m. on the 27th, Guangbe led his troops into the legation barracks, while the remaining troops outside the city returned to the Fengtai barracks -- this was the famous Guang'anmen incident.

This incident completely angered the RB military, and at 22:20 on the night of the 26th, an order for battle was issued, because it was determined that the Guangbu Brigade was seriously affected by the illegal acts of the Chinese army, and even the danger of being completely annihilated, so it was decided to crusade against the 29th Army. The battle orders were as follows: first, the attack was scheduled to be launched at noon tomorrow (27th); Second, the main forces of the 20th Division of Langfang and TJ coordinated with a unit at Majuqiao to attack Nanyuan in the Tuanhe Village season.

Third, the main force of the garrison army launched an attack from Fengtai to the northwest of the Nanyuan barracks, and the 2nd Infantry Wing in Tongzhou attacked in the direction of the northeast end of Nanyuan, and entered the Beiping-Majuqiao line at 11 o'clock, obeying the command of the brigade commander; Fourth, the Beiping Guard protects the expatriates in Beiping.

Fifth, the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade attacked Xiyuan from the vicinity of Weiyao, and then entered the line of the Yongding River; Sixth, the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade (in Shunyi) attacked from the direction of Shahe Town to the Yongding River line; Seventh, the army reserve (the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division, that is, the main participants in the TJ battle) was stationed in the 8th TJ, and the main force of the flying regiment attacked the Xiyuan barracks at dawn; Ninth, the first part of the Provisional Aviation Corps is in Chengde, and the main force of the Leap Forward TJ assists the ground corps in the sweeping war, and is ready to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Air Force at any time.

The order was to launch an attack at noon on the 27th, but the deadline set by RB for Song Zheyuan was the 28th, so Matsui, the head of the secret service, disagreed, believing that the time was too short to complete the mission of protecting overseas Chinese, and in addition, the lack of faith in the Chinese side would also cause a loss of points in future negotiations; Third, the situation ascertained in the Guanganmen incident is not as serious as imagined.

To sum up, the Japanese army decided to temporarily withdraw its order, and at 4:30 a.m. on the 27th, it issued the following partial change order: "For the sake of the reception of overseas Chinese in Beiping, the start of the attack is postponed, and I hope that all corps will be ready for the attack -- as for the advance of the attack, we should wait for orders." ”

Along with this secret military deployment, there was also a public document called the "Statement of the Chinese Garrison." In the so-called statement, the RB people declared: The real enemy of the Japanese army is the Chinese army that dares to resist the Japanese provocation, not the 100 million people of North China.

Within a few hours after the Guanganmen incident, the Japanese military headquarters received detailed information, and the RB people could no longer tolerate Song Zheyuan's rebellion, and issued an order for full mobilization, first giving the Chinese garrison troops a new task, then mobilizing the three divisions in the country, and carrying out the second mobilization of the 20th division.

The total number of people mobilized this time was about 209,000, including 54,000 horses, and according to the plan, the 5th and 6th Divisions and their affiliated units were transported to Pusan from August 1 to 4. From August 10 to 14, the 10th Division was transported to Tanggu.

The first plan for the future was to defeat the 29th Army, and secondly, after the arrival of the domestic divisions, enter and secure a line from Baoding to Duliu Town (JH County, 26 kilometers south of TJ), even if the Central Army of the National Capital in the north arrived.

According to Japanese statistics, the cost of such a large-scale campaign was 96,809,496 yen, and this money was only enough for the first two months of mobilization, and then an additional 313,306,000 yen.

In addition to such a huge amount of expenditure and huge manpower allocation, the RB people made a huge strategic mistake! However, of the total strength of the Japanese army, 11 divisions were allocated to fight against China, of which no more than 4 divisions could be fought against North China (5 divisions should be left as reserve forces to prepare for two-front operations).

There should be no big problem for these forces to conquer North China, but it is absolutely not enough to annex all of China, so Shigetaro Yuta, the deputy head of the RB Military Command Department, called Ishihara Wanji, the first head of the General Staff Headquarters, and inquired about him. At that time, Shigetaro Yuda proposed a way to clean up the situation, which was simply a method of 'the purpose is not to bring China to its knees, but to clean up the situation at the right time'.

Ishihara also agreed with the vice minister's idea of not expanding the war situation to the whole of China, so he put forward the following proposals: First, after occupying the Pingjin area, immediately stop fighting -- this is the best time.

second, after the capture of Changxindian; Third, after the capture of Baoding -- this is the last chance.

After the Deputy Minister of Military Command asked him about this? Ishihara shook his head regretfully: "I can't think of a proper opportunity anymore!" ”

Shitaro Yuta snorted hard, as if he had a toothache, "There's no more opportune time?" So, that is, if the Chinese side is unwilling to make concessions, the imperial state will continue? This...... In the words of the Chinese, isn't this a difficult way to ride a tiger? ”

Ishihara nodded with a wry smile and did not speak.

"So, what about the settlement conditions?"

"I think that the first thing to do is to return all the political rights and interests of the RB in the whole of China, such as extraterritoriality, special rights and interests in North China, the right to garrison troops in the army and navy, and lend-lease, which is the only good way to achieve goodwill between Japan and China and improve trade. As for China, the only thing that needs to be done is to recognize Manchukuo. ”

Shitaro Yuuda didn't have a toothache originally, but it really hurts now! Such conditions have almost given up all the benefits that the imperial country has gained by relying on the bloody battles of soldiers for many years! Once released, it will inevitably attract a strong backlash from the military! He couldn't imagine what kind of anger he would face! "Well, study it, and report it to play." The so-called performance is to report to the emperor for approval.

After the adoption of the plan, the chief of the General Staff Headquarters, Kanin Palace and Ishihara Waner, went to the Hayama Imperial Residence on the 30th and 31st respectively to pay homage to Emperor Hirohito. (Note 1)

"From an operational point of view, advance to the front line in Baoding."

When Ishihara reported on the specific battle plan on behalf of the deputy secretary on the 31st, Hirohito asked again, and Ishihara replied as follows: "In terms of operations, it is difficult to use four divisions at once, and it is already necessary to attack the Baoding line with this force, and it is impossible to advance any further -- after entering this line, the most urgent task at the moment is to seek a chance to withdraw troops through diplomatic negotiations." ”

Hirohito didn't say anything, just nodded.

Note 1: This paragraph is a historical fact. As for asking the sea minister to make a proposal, it is because the army and navy of the RB are always at odds. The RB Army and Navy regard each other as their biggest competitors, fighting openly and secretly, not buying each other, and always and everywhere for each other! As simple as a bolt, the Navy designed it to be left-handed, and the Army's drawings indicated that it was right-handed—just to keep it from being used.

This discord was particularly evident at the Battle of Wuhan (see more on that later).
