The Tianmen team appeared, and the Gubeikou connection was interrupted, as if two bombs exploded above the heads of Yousue Jingsan and Gu Shoufu, and the headquarters was as silent as death, and the rumbling cannon sound from afar could not wake them up. //、М/

The road to retreat from Miyun was extremely difficult, with the 51st Group Army and the 23rd Group Army attacking in turn, while the 1st Mechanized Group Army took a detour to the flank. The attack of the 51st Group Army that rushed up was even more ferocious, and the 6th and 13th Divisions had always been the main force of the imperial army, but under the attack of the 59th Army, they lost more than 5,000 people in only half a day, and the position was crumbling. The 10th Division and the old division were withdrawn, and the division commander Shichuan counted the troops, and only more than 10,000 people remained in the two divisions, and the heavy weapons were almost completely lost.

After the reinforcements of the Fifth Division went up, the battle line was slightly stable, but Qiu Qingquan suddenly came out of the front line of Talianggou and broke through from the junction of the 13th Division and the 26th Division.

Originally, it was thought that the "Middle" team would stop attacking at night, but the "Middle" team showed strong determination and still insisted on attacking at night, and the artillery fire continued all night, and the whole line continued to attack. These offensives made the Japanese army feel the determination of the "Central" ** team to resolutely and completely annihilate the Japanese army.

It wasn't until the troops slowly withdrew to the master tun and entered the mountainous area that the offensive of the ** team eased slightly, and the 48th division was transferred down by the end of Jingsan and Gu Shoufu to seize Gubeikou.

Both Seizo and Gu Shoufu understood "why the [middle] ** team in the back continued to attack at any cost, the purpose was to drag them down" to buy time for the roundabout troops. There are Sue Jingsan and Gu Shoufu are extremely painful, why didn't they transfer a division in the first place, no, even if it is a wing, with the terrain of Gubeikou, one wing can be completely defended.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

A few warplanes swept through the sky, and the bombs dropped would wake up Sue Seizan and Gu Shoufu, who grabbed the staff officer who reported the news, and asked repeatedly: "Is that the branch of the army?" How did they get here? Isn't it eight-way? Guerilla? ”

The staff officer's neck was strangled tightly, his face was flushed, and he couldn't speak at all, Yusue Seizan hurriedly pulled Gu Shoufu away, and the staff officer hurriedly took a few breaths of air with gunsmoke, and only after stabilizing did he report to Gu Shoufu and Yusue Seizo.

"Captain Kase of the Vanguard Brigade reported that "the vanguard squadron was attacked, and he led his troops to counterattack and captured two soldiers of the Shina Army, and after interrogation, it was the 03rd Army, one of the 49th Group Army of China." ”

The forty-ninth group army, there are Sue Jingsan and Gu Shoufu's eyes are black, and they almost fell to the ground, when did this nightmare of the imperial army run to Gubeikou?

It is too late to discuss this issue now, and they must immediately come up with a plan to break out of the encirclement and "bring these remaining tens of thousands of troops out of the encirclement of the Chinese."

But this is a very difficult task, the troops have already had a shortage of ammunition, now the average soldier has only ten to fifteen rounds of ammunition on his body, "only three to five shells per gun, there are not many grenades, as for the food, after a few days of consumption, some of the troops have run out of food, because the people along the way have taken refuge in the mountains, the troops have to go into the mountains to find their mothers, which further delays the movement of the troops."

"The only way to do this is to storm the Gubeikou of Nantianmen and fight a bloody way." Gu Shoufu's expression was grim, and his tone contained a layer of desperation, and he tried his best to keep himself calm, turning over the map and checking it, Gu Shoufu was a little anxious: "There is the end of the king, if you don't act, it's late!" ”

Youmo Jingsan shook his head bitterly, he was not sure to take Gubeikou from the 49th Group Army, during the Battle of Wuhan, the two divisions of this group army held on to Fujin Mountain, and nearly 70,000 troops of the four divisions of the empire failed to take it, and now the total strength of the army is only more than 50,000 people, and there is a shortage of food and ammunition, how to recapture Gubei.?

"What else can I do?" Gu Shoufu was anxious: "Order the division regiment and the 10th division to immediately counterattack Nantianmen and Gubeikou, the 6th Division, the 13th Division, and the 26th Division to hold the mastertun, and the 5th Division of the 19th Division to go north to reinforce the 9th Division, and use non-stop attacks to defeat the Chinese army and recapture Gubei.!" ”

Yousue Jingsan shook his head resolutely: "Gu Jun, with our current strength, we can't recapture Gubeikou, and if we want to take the troops out, there are only two ways." ”

In these few minutes, Seizan had already made a clear judgment of the situation: "One is that we rushed out from the east, in the area of Longkouyu; The other walked into the mountains to the east and held on, waiting for Okabe-kun to come to help. ”

Gu Shoufu was actually not sure that he would be able to break out of a bloody road, but he concluded that since the ** team had occupied Gubeikou, it would never turn a blind eye to Longkouyu, so it was difficult to rush out of Longkouyu; Secondly, hold on, what to hold, there is a shortage of food and ammunition, and if you fight for two or three days, the soldier's gun chamber will be empty, how to hold on?

But now, he has no other way, and Arisue Seizan further explained his plan: "Order the 9th Division and the 19th Division to counterattack Nantianmen and Gubeikou, let the 5th Division and the 36th Division secretly enter the mountain, and must order to occupy and hold Longkouyu before sunrise to open a passage for the whole army." ”

Gu Shoufu thought about it silently, nodded in agreement, this plan is much stronger than simply rushing out from Gubeikou. The Chinese army is attracted to Gubeikou, the direction of Longkouyu is bound to be weak, and Nakajima is brave and good at fighting, and it will definitely be able to open the gap.

Just when Arisue Seizan was racking his brains to find a way out for the whole army, Kawabe Shozo was about to cry and looked at the telegram in his hand without tears, and it was difficult to make a decision.

In Okamura's original plan to be small, Kawabe Shozo and Arisue Seizan to meet in Tongzhou, jointly for the relocation of the letter to relieve the siege, but Kawabe Shozo was waiting for Tianjin to withdraw troops, by the "middle" ** team blow, the fifth army from the east of Yufa, successive capture of Lixian, Anding, the forward tank rushed into Qingyun Town, cut off the river side Zhengsan west to Tongzhou road, Riverside Zhengsan was forced to retreat to the Xianghe, the fifth army in hot pursuit, he just arrived at the Xianghe River on the front foot, the back foot "middle" ** team chased the two sides in the Xianghe River to start a fierce battle Riverside Zhengsan retreated again.

During the retreat, Kawabe Shozo always tried to get in touch with Seizo Yusue, but the ** team always clung to him and did not give him any chance. To the north of the Xianghe River, the riverside Zhengsan met with the abandoned team that had withdrawn from Tianjin, and the number of the ** team that could chase behind him also increased. In addition to the Fifth Army, the 71st Army, the 72nd Army, the 74th Army, the New Eighth Army, and the Kou Army were added.

The flat North China Plain gave the most favorable conditions for the pursuit of the ** team. The first team went to the wide frontal pursuit, and the wide frontal pursuit was a tail pursuit attack, and the rest of the troops let go of the detour to surpass this attack road, so that the riverside Zhengsan could not organize a continuous and effective blockade at all, and could only continue to abandon the defense, and the retreat route gradually deviated to the west, and could no longer meet with Yusue Jingsan.

When he just retreated to Pinggu, he received a report of the loss of Jixian County, Yukou was occupied by the Chinese 72nd Army, but it was the elite 47th Army of the Chinese country that conquered Jixian County. After noticing that the Ji Ge of the ** team was small, Hebian Zhengsan immediately fled backwards.

There are two escape routes for Zhengsan by the river, one goes north into the mountains of Yanshan, from here over the Great Wall, to the outside of the Saiwai; This road is difficult, there are no roads at all, and it is the main area of activity of the Eighth Route Army; The other road is to cross the northern foot of Panshan, from the mountainous area north of Jixian County, through the Qing Dongling into Zunhua, and then from Zunhua to the west; The risk of this road is that the squadron occupying Jixian is likely to occupy the Xiayingpan area before them and cut off the eastward advance.

Where to go, when Kawabe Shozo was in trouble, he received a telegram from Umezu Mijiro from Tangshan, asking him to immediately cross Panshan and pass through Zunhua to Tangshan to meet him.

"Your Excellency, since Commander Umezu has an order, let's go east, if we move quickly, we can still get ahead of the Zhina Army."

Chief of Staff Masao Qi Tian sighed, it seems safe to take the northern line, but in fact it is also dangerous, this road is almost a no-man's land, the Eighth Route Army is rampant here, the imperial army has implemented the policy of gathering families and tuning, killing the people in the mountainous areas, driving them away, and they are all concentrated in the naturalized tun under the mountain, so once you enter the mountain, you are destined to have no food; Second, the Eighth Route Army must be taken into account, the troops are now seriously short of ammunition, and once they encounter the Eighth Route Army's blockade, whether the troops can break through the blocking line in time will become a big problem; In the end, the mountains here are almost roadless, which is why in the battle of the Great Wall that year, the imperial army would rather gnaw on such a dangerous pass as the Xifengkou of Gubeikou rather than choose to attack from here; In the end, even if you go out of the Great Wall from here, you have to walk hundreds of kilometers to reach Xinglong County, and this has to pray for the care of Amaterasu.

Hebe Shozo counted the troops at his disposal, he now has the troops withdrawn from Yifang and Tianjin, a total of ten divisions, ten divisions and regiments, it seems that there are a lot, if the full number, the total strength is more than 100,000 troops, but now it is far from reaching this situation.

The 119th Division was almost wiped out in the Langfang operation, with less than one wing remaining, and the Third Division also suffered heavy losses in the process of breaking through Langfang, with less than 4,000 men left in the entire division, more than half of whom were still engineers and logistics personnel; The 32nd Division and the 41st Division suffered equally heavy losses in the Langfang and rearguard battles, the existing strength of the 41st Division was only half of what it was at full strength, and the 32nd Division was only slightly more than 6,000 men; The 6-4 Division and the 23rd Division are slightly better preserved in combat effectiveness, and these two divisions are only slightly better than other divisions, the 6-4 Division still has more than 8,000 troops, and the 123rd Division still has more than 10,000 troops left. The four divisions withdrawn from Tianjin fared slightly better, but their strength was also reduced by a quarter.

Fighting along the way of retreating, Hebian Zhengsan continued to put the troops into the blockade, there was a pursuit in the back, there was a bombardment, the troops suffered heavy losses, when they retreated to Pinggu, Hebian Zhengsan counted the troops, the 119th Division was almost wiped out, there were still hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals, there were more than 1,000 people left in the 3rd Division of the former strong army, and the total strength of the whole army was only more than 60,000 people. ~！
