On February 17, 1933, Muto Nobuyoshi issued Attack Order No. 473, deciding to start a military offensive on February 23. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOn February 18, 27 generals, including Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin, Wan Fulin, and Song Zheyuan, issued an anti-Japanese telegram in Chengde.

On 21 February, the Japanese began to attack Rehe in an attempt to force the Chinese defenders to surrender. Muto Nobuyoshi issued an ultimatum on 22 July, demanding the withdrawal of all Chinese troops stationed in Rehe. On 23 February, Japan's request for China to withdraw its troops from Rehe was rejected. On 24 February, the Japanese began a large-scale offensive on three fronts.

Under the command of Commander Muto Nobuyoshi, the Kwantung Army took Zhang Jinghui as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Manchukuo Revenge Army", and the base camp was set up in Jinzhou, with a total of more than 100,000 Japanese puppet troops, and the troops attacked Rehe at the same time in three ways.

The North Road was composed of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army and the puppet Manchukuo Army Zhang Haipeng and Cheng Guorui, starting from Tongliao, attacking Kailu, Xinhui and Jianping, aiming at Chifeng, and then going south to Chengde.

The East Road was composed of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army and the Li Shoushan Division of the puppet Manchukuo Army, starting from Jinzhou, attacking Beipiao, Chaoyang, and Ye Baishou along the Jinchao line, and finally attacking Chengde.

The southern route of the Japanese Seventh Division, the Fourteenth Division, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and the Eighth Division, as well as the puppet army Ding Qiang and Li Jichun, set out from Suizhong to attack Jianchang, Lingyuan, and Pingquan, and then to Chengde.

In addition, the 1st Division of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, which occupied the Great Wall, and the garrison stationed at Shanhaiguan formed a detachment, which set off from Gubeikou and headed north to attack Chengde.

The goal of the Japanese army is very clear, that is, to take Chengde City, the capital of Rehe, and then control the entire Rehe, only by controlling Rehe, the northeast can be regarded as completely falling. From then on, unless a full-scale war of resistance against Japan broke out, there was no point in talking about recovering the Northeast.

In response to the Japanese puppet army's three-way invasion of Rehe, the young marshal and other leaders of the Northeast Army will certainly not sit still, and even Tang Yulin is not willing to give Rehe to the Japanese in this way, although Rehe is poor and poor, but it is also a large province of more than 100,000 square kilometers, which can bring him huge profits every year.

The Northeast Army was also divided into three routes, the north road from Kailu to Chifeng line, defended by Sun Dianying's department and Cui Xing's fifth division of the 17th Cavalry Brigade of the Rehe Provincial Army, and the Northeast Volunteer Army Feng Zhanhai, Li Haiqing, Liu Zhendong and other units assisted in the battle.

On the line from the north ticket of the East Road to Chaoyang and Jianchang, there are Yu Zhaolin of the 13th Brigade of the Heilongjiang Provincial Army, Dong Futing of the 38th Infantry Brigade of the Rehe Provincial Army, and Li Chunhua and Tang Ju of the Northeast Volunteer Army who retreated into the area.

The line from Lingyuan to Pingquan and Chengde on the south road was defended by Miao Chengliu of the 16th Brigade of the Northeast Army, Ding Xichun of the 8th Brigade, Sun Dequan of the 19th Brigade and Wang Yongsheng of the 19th Brigade of the Heilongjiang Provincial Army.

Although the slogan of the young marshal's resistance against Japan was shouted very loudly, public opinion became known throughout the country, and on the surface, some efforts were indeed made, and many Northeast Army troops were mobilized to actively defend themselves. However, if you look closely, you will find that the elite troops under the direct jurisdiction of the young marshal were not transferred to Rehe to participate in the battle.

Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army, He Zhuguo's 57th Army, and Wang Yizhe's 67th Army were actually within the Great Wall, and the Northeast Army that Zhengzhen was transferred to Rehe to prepare for the war was either Tang Yulin's troops or the troops of the auxiliary commander Zhang Zuoxiang. It is no wonder that Tang Yulin has no hope of winning this war.

Compared with Chairman Chiang's approach in the past three or seven years, we know that the young marshal's awareness of the overall situation is far from enough, or he has never thought of going head-to-head with the Japanese from beginning to end.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chairman Chiang immediately threw several elite German divisions of his descendants into the battlefield of Songhu.

So much so that in the back, even the local warlord troops obeyed Chiang Kai-shek's dispatch and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the decisive battle against the Japanese invaders. Even the warlords of the Gui family, who had always been hostile to him, sent 100,000 troops to reinforce Shanghai at one time.

Regardless of the outcome, at least at the level of the overall situation, the young marshal is too immature compared to the chairman of the committee.

The fourth battalion is the establishment of the 626th Regiment, which is subordinate to the 57th Army. However, because Li Han had been stationed in the territory of Rehe, he was captured by Tang Yulin and directly incorporated into the battle sequence of the Second Army.

Tang Yulin's level is much higher than Yu Xuezhong, and he is also a veteran of the Northeast Army, so although Yu Xuezhong was dissatisfied with Tang Yulin's actions, he didn't say anything, after all, Li Han was left by him to fight devils, and he was not swallowed by him.

Of course, Yu Xuezhong also felt that this was a bit unworthy of his subordinates, so he planned to wait for this battle to be over, and then promote Li Han to be the head of the security regiment.

On the contrary, Li Han himself didn't care about Tang Yulin's small actions at all, on the contrary, he was a little lucky. If you follow the large army and withdraw to Guannai, before the War of Resistance Against Japan officially breaks out, there will be no battle to fight in the days to come. It is also possible that he will be transferred to northern Shaanxi to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and Li Han will not do such a thing that his relatives will be bitter and his enemies will be happy.

Now it's okay, you can stay in the north and kill devils, and the province is in a dilemma. Moreover, Li Han plans to wait until the end of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and then find an opportunity to break away from the Northeast Army system, so that he can completely stay here to fight devils, and no one will hinder him.

On the evening of 22 July, Li Han convened an operational meeting of officers above the platoon level of the fourth battalion to deploy the tactics of the campaign. It was only at this time that he realized that he was forced to stay to fight devils this time, and the officers below had more or less some ideas.

After all, they are not Li Han, and they don't know the future historical development, and although the Northeast Army is in a difficult situation for now, as long as the young marshal is still there, there is still hope. Therefore, the big guy was very dissatisfied with Tang Yulin's forcible detention of the fourth battalion and its integration into the Second Army.

"Battalion commander, you go and talk to the regiment commander to see if there is a way to transfer us back, we don't want to stay here and work for Tang Yulin."

Huang Shan, the commander of the third company, who has always been relatively silent, also expressed his opinion, and in the past few months in Rehe, everyone has seen Tang Yulin's greed.

During his years in Rehe, he not only looted the people's wealth and set up various tax items, but also collected taxes from acres of land more than ten years later. As a result, bandits are rampant everywhere in Rehe, and the people are struggling to make a living.

In the military aspect, he is also nepotistic, and none of the high-ranking officers of the army are his direct relatives, so they will have a relationship with him. Therefore, everyone has a very bad impression of Tang Yulin, and it can be said that except for a slightly tougher attitude towards the Japanese, Tang Yulin has nothing worthy of the brothers of the fourth battalion to work for him.

"Yes, battalion commander, the fourth battalion has been developed by us with hard work, if we let the brothers fight devils, everyone will have nothing to say, but we are now serving as a shield for him Tang Yulin, I am unwilling. I heard that Tang Yulin, the deputy commander-in-chief, had already asked his family to pack up his things and be ready to retreat at any time, and hundreds of cars were loaded in Dayang alone. ”

While speaking, Hu Zhi did not forget to make a physical gesture, as if he was in the scene.

Although the other company commanders and the main platoon commander did not speak, they also looked approving, obviously everyone was unwilling to use their brothers to work for people like Tang Yulin.

"! Who the hell are you listening to, do you know how many hundreds of cars of oceans count! Listening to the wind is rain, is this what a commander should do? ”

Li Han glared at Hu Zhi fiercely and scolded, is it possible to have hundreds of cars in the ocean, and you don't have to think about it with your head.

Although Hu Zhi was scolded by Li Han, he still had an unconvinced expression on his face, obviously he thought that what he said was right, as for whether the hundreds of cars of the ocean were true or not, the important thing was that Tang Yulin was preparing to escape was true.

It's no wonder that Hu Zhi thinks so, these people are fighting with devils on the front line, but Tang Yulin, as the deputy commander-in-chief, is bent on escaping, what does this make these low-level officers think, can such a battle still be fought vigorously?

Li Han observed that the attitudes of several military officers seemed to be relatively negative, and everyone had very good opinions on this matter, and the military commanders had no fighting spirit, and the atmosphere of the underground troops was even more wrong.

This is very detrimental to the next battle, and Li Han feels that it is necessary to raise everyone's morale and at the same time make them understand why they are fighting devils.

"What's wrong! What's wrong! It seems that everyone has emotions about leaving you to fight devils. I don't think you need to find Deputy Commander Tang as an excuse, it's clear that everyone is afraid of death and doesn't dare to fight a tough battle with the little devil. If anyone is afraid of death and doesn't want to fight to say it, it's nothing, the ants are still stealing their lives, I, Li Hannian, will give each of you a severance pay of fifty oceans in the love of our brothers, how about it? ”

Li Han glanced at the audience and sneered.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly, he slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Do you think we are fighting with the Japanese for Tang Yulin?" And what about our 30 million compatriots who have fallen! Your parents and family don't want it anymore! If we don't fight Japan, do you think that the tragedy in the Northeast will be repeated in Rehe! Or do you want these unarmed civilians to fight with heavily armed devils? Yes! ”

The officers of the Fourth Battalion, who were still indignant in their hearts, lowered their heads for a while when they heard Li Han's talk about his hometown in the northeast, their faces full of shame, and some even left tears of remorse.

No one wants to go back to the Northeast more than them, and since they quit the Northeast, they haven't seen their relatives again, and they don't even know whether they are alive or dead. When it comes to being a soldier, you can imagine how painful their hearts are.

"Very good, it seems that everyone is still ashamed, and he is still a good man with blood. I don't care what others think, in short, our four battalions have one idea, that is, to fight the devil to the end, and never die. Do you understand? ”

In fact, Li Han is also reluctant to reveal the scars in everyone's hearts, this is also his own scar, his father was killed by the Japanese plane, this is his blood feud with Japan.

His father finally raised him, and Li Han himself became an officer, so it can be said that the life of the old Li family has just begun to improve. It's a pity that at this time, the 918 incident broke out, and then my father was killed by the Japanese devils.

In Li Han's memory, his father's greatest wish before his death is still deeply imprinted: that is, to see Li Han start a family and then have a baby, so that he can take his grandson to visit the village every day. But it was such a simple wish, but his old man never had a chance to see it again.

The war is imminent, it is very important to unify the people's hearts, and the Japanese are about to fight in front of them, and everyone is still making conflicts over whether this battle is worth fighting, and Li Han certainly cannot let it go.

"Never die!"

"Never die!"

Thinking of their family members who still did not know whether they were alive or dead in the Northeast, the officers attending the meeting suddenly had red eyes, clenched their fists one by one, and roared angrily with red eyes.

At this moment, no one cares if they are blocking the gun for others. The battalion commander is right, the fourth battalion and the Japanese do not share the same sky, if even we refuse to fight with the devils, who else can the entire Republic of China count on.
