Section 40 Going to war (2)

The defeat of Langfang and the blocking of the road between Pingjin and Tianjin were undoubtedly extremely bad news for the Chinese troops stationed in the two places. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After hearing the news, he immediately summoned Huang Weigang of the 112th Brigade, Dong Shengtang of the 114th Brigade, Li Zhiyuan of the 26th Brigade, and An Kemin of the Special Service Regiment (Liu Zhensan of the 113th Brigade was in Tongbai Town, about 20 kilometers from Langfang, and had no time to rush back) to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Also present at the meeting were Qi Guangyuan, head of the pistol regiment of the 38th Division, Ma Yanchong, secretary general of the city government, Ning Dianwu, head of the security team, and Liu Jialuan.

The 26th Brigade of the Independent Brigade was stationed in Machang, and Li Zhiyuan rushed to the city, and when he saw Li Wentian's head, he asked: "The current situation is so critical, why do you still stand still, and what are you going to do?" ā€

"Jiusi, don't worry, your word is Jiusi, I don't think you even think twice!"

Dong Shengtang joked about Li Zhiyuan's words, causing everyone to chuckle, Li Zhiyuan ignored him and continued: "Deputy division commander, the RB people have taken Langfang, if we don't do it immediately, I'm afraid that the RB people will march to us first!" What to do then? ā€

"Don't you know when I do? Now we have to wait for Beiping's order! Do you want to open fire and stir up trouble? ā€

"Now that the two sides have torn their faces, what else can't little RB do?"

"So what do you say?"

"Nothing else, fight with the RB people to the end!" Li Zhiyuan said loudly: "But only our 38th Division can't do it, we have to let the security team and the police force act with us, otherwise, they will be in danger if they are pulled over by the pro-Japanese faction." ā€

Ning Dianwu turned his face on the spot, slapped the table, and scolded, "Li Zhiyuan, I'm CNM!" Which eye did you see that our security team was going to pull the RB people over? ā€

Li Wentian hurriedly stopped, pushed Li Zhiyuan out of the door, and said in a low voice: "You go back first, sort out your troops, and I'll ask Yan Chong for their opinions." ā€

Li Zhiyuan knew that Li Wentian had made up his mind to fight, so he happily returned to the Machang Brigade Headquarters by car, and found his two regiment commanders, one named Zhu Chunfang and the other Ma Furong, and after discussion, the three of them decided to bring the troops to JH County as soon as possible, and there were three advantages to this: the first was to stay away from the Langfang combat zone and avoid the loss of their own troops; The second is that it can control the Jinghai Railway Station, and it can take a car to the city at any time, which will not cause the feeling that the independent brigade is about to escape; Third, if you really can't defeat the enemy, you can also retreat south to Jinghai (Jinghai is at the southern end of TJ) as soon as possible, go to the military headquarters of the 29th Army in County C, or even retreat all the way to Baoding and find the Central Army as a shelter.

Li Zhiyuan is by no means a bad person, on the contrary, as the commander of the first brigade, he has a great enthusiasm for serving the country, but he is a bit clever and clever. Hearing the words of his subordinates, he immediately accepted this proposal that the advance could be attacked, the retreat could be defended, and the strength of the 26th Brigade could be retained, and he ordered the Zhu regiment to go to Jinghai, occupy the station, and detain part of the wagons; The regiment waited until the 27th to retreat. After receiving a phone call from Li Wentian, Li Zhiyuan rushed to the Li family's mansion, where he held a military meeting for the second time, determined the strategic plan of striking first, and assigned the 38th Division, the security team, and the city's police force to prepare for battle.

In TJ City at that time, there were several Japanese troops, the largest of which were as follows: the headquarters of the garrison army in Haiguang Temple, where a wing of Japanese troops was stationed, with light and heavy firepower in their hands, as well as artillery, because it was the general headquarters of the Japanese army, the fortifications were very strong; the second is the airfield in Dongjuzi, where more than 30 planes are parked, and another Japanese squadron serves as a guard; The old Longtou Railway Station and the East Railway Station each had a small squad of Japanese troops. In addition to these military forces arranged in the city, there are Japanese naval ships and marines outside Dagukou; There were also Japanese troops in Langfang and Shanhaiguan. Therefore, if you want to start in advance, you must solve the Japanese army in the city in the shortest possible time, otherwise, when the other side's reinforcements arrive, the Chinese army will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy.

At that time, the defenders in TJ City had 1,000 pistol regiments of the 38th Division, three squadrons of the security team, plus 1,500 police, and nearly 3,000 men from two regiments of the 26th Independent Brigade, totaling more than 5,000 people. The troops are counted, and the specific configuration is like this, with a squadron of the security team to capture the East Railway Station, Ning Dianwu is responsible for commanding; The pistol regiment was all equipped with a battalion of the 26th Brigade and the 3rd Squadron of the Security Team to attack Haiguang Temple, under the command of Qi Guangyuan; The 26th Squadron of the Independent 26th Brigade and the 2nd Squadron of the Security Team attacked the TJ terminal and the Dongjuzi Airport in an effort to destroy the defending enemy and burn the aircraft, under the command of Li Zhiyuan; The city's police force is responsible for transportation and guidance in each battlefield. The commander-in-chief of the battlefield is Li Wentian, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Li Zhiyuan.

When everything was ready, Li Zhiyuan ordered Zhu Chunfang to lead his troops to assemble at the southwest outpost gate, and his first battalion and the second squadron of the security team each brought a pot of gasoline and a box of matches, and ran to the east bureau to occupy the airfield; The second battalion, led by Zhu Chunfang himself, attacked the main railway station, and at the same time gave him a pistol company as a reserve.

The battle broke out at one o'clock in the morning of the 28th, and the battalion commander of Zhu Chunfang's department solved the sentry as soon as possible and rushed into the airport - the RB pilots were sleeping in tents under the plane, and when they heard the gunshots, they immediately got into the plane! At the same time, the light and heavy weapons of the defenders began to fire, and the two sides exchanged fire.

While organizing resistance, the battalion commander ordered the soldiers to pour oil and set fire, who knew that the soldiers ran to the east bureau, and the matches on their bodies were damp, and they couldn't catch fire! Only one was lit, bubbling with a roaring flame, like a giant candle, and forced to take off on the runway!

The rest of the planes began to taxi, and the Chinese soldiers had no idea how to deal with the flying iron bird in addition to setting fire, some slashed with knives, and some grabbed the planes, and they actually forced the other party to take the sky to the sky, and the shouts resounded through the dark sky!

The soldiers used knives, guns, and grenades to blow up the plane, and the soldiers ignored it, tore off the burning fragments with their hands, and went to other places to start the fire, and the fireworks on the airport were full of fire, and the shouts of killing were also earth-shattering, but the battle at the Dongjuzi Airport did not even achieve half of the combat effect expected in advance, and nearly 20 planes forcibly took off successfully - by dawn, these planes caused very serious casualties to the Chinese troops in TJ!

The RB defenders of the airport were forced to hide in the office building, condescendingly shooting at the enemy, causing very heavy losses to the Chinese army, and the battle lasted until dawn on the 28th, with a combat force of nearly 700 Chinese troops, in the face of a Japanese squadron guarded by a Japanese squadron of the East Bureau of the airport, it was impossible to take it!

Not only is the battle on the side of the East Bureau tight, but the Haiguang Temple has also encountered very stubborn resistance, this is the headquarters of the RB garrison army, the guard is more tight, and the Japanese army has artillery, which bombed the Chinese army in a mess, and by one o'clock in the afternoon, 12 hours after the start of the battle, the pistol regiment and other troops responsible for the attack were all gone! Ning Dianwu and Qi Guangyuan even changed into civilian clothes before escaping from the battlefield.

At the same time, they received news that a military train from Shanhaiguan, two armored vehicles from Langfang, and a small steamer from the Dagu River were heading towards TJ at the same time, and the situation was already very unfavorable. Huang Weigang sent a telegram to Huang Weigang of the 112th Brigade, asking him for reinforcements, but Huang was delayed, and after everyone discussed, they issued an order to retreat - after 15 hours of fighting, the city of TJ was completely occupied by the Japanese army.
