Unlike the atmosphere in Nanyuan, the atmosphere in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Xi'an, and even Beiping was very high, and the major newspapers published articles one after another, describing the details of the Nanyuan Campaign, praising the air defense commanded by the Lu instructors of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and highly respecting the machine-gun planes, saying that this was an air defense tactic in the new era; He has great respect for the calm command of Zhao Dengyu of Tong Lingge, and he greatly admires Dong Shengtang, the brigade commander, for taking the lead.

Many literati wrote poems praising the defenders of North China. There are also people who are extremely optimistic, believing that our army's combat strength is strong, and the Japanese chieftains can go down in one go, and the northeast should be recovered as soon as possible.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the 30th, nine planes appeared in the eastern sky. The gong sounded, and air defense began.

This time, the anti-aircraft machine gun was much more experienced, and the North China Army sent an additional machine gun company for air defense. Despite this, nine planes blew up several barracks. A dozen bombs also fell on the positions, machine-gun fire, and only a couple of aircraft were damaged. Not a single plane fell.

Obviously, this time, the devils sent top pilots. Moreover, the plane is not the same, it is the Ki-11 monoplane fighter aircraft from Nakajima. Oops, this is a new type of aircraft.

After the outbreak of the 77 Incident, the Kawasaki Ki-10 Type 95 fighter was put into the Chinese battlefield, which had a performance advantage over the Hawker and i15 biplane fighters used by the Republic of China Air Force at that time. Type 95 is a double-wing aircraft. 588 were produced. After the Battle of Nomenkan, he gradually retired from active service.

It was this type of plane that was shot down by the trail and so on.

The planes left, there was no time to count the losses, and the Japanese began shelling. Similarly, today's shelling was much more intensive than the day before yesterday, and the soldiers were seriously killed and wounded and the barracks ran wildly.

This time the shelling was intensive, and before the shelling stopped completely, the devil infantry began to attack.

This investigation made it clear that the 20th Division was still attacking from the southeast and southwest corners of Nanyuan, and the infantry brigades of the garrison army attacked at the same time to cut off the retreat of the Nanyuan defenders in the direction of Beiping. In addition, according to the intelligence of Beiping, some puppet troops in North China also participated in the offensive this morning. Indeed, the North China Army on the Nanyuan position also saw a lot of puppet troops.

Xiao Lu's heart tightened suddenly.

There is a good chance that the tragedy of the 28th in history will be repeated on this day on the 30th.

After repelling two attacks, Xiao Lu summoned Qian Jinxin and the three of them together and said, "Today's situation is not right. The devil's army has increased a lot, and the traitor team has been added. Weapons and ammunition were also replenished, and the number of artillery increased. The planes were also replenished, and the bombing on our heads for a long time shows that their airfield is closer to Beiping. Fighting with a machine gun, at the beginning, it was a fluke, the master came, and he used a machine gun, that is nonsense. All in all, to prepare for the retreat, our task is to bring the student soldiers out. ”

Du Xigang said: "Fifteen hundred people, now there are one thousand and one hundred left, and if we fight for another day today, we will lose some people." ”

Xiaolu said: "I understand this. The four of us should be careful not to have an accident. Otherwise, the student soldiers are finished. I announced that if something happens to me, Qian Jinxin will lead the team, and both of us will have an accident, and we will lead the team in the order of Mark Zheng Du Xigang. Be sure to bring the student soldiers out. ”

The three of them became serious.

Xiaolu said: "I asked Song Zheyuan Tong Lin Pavilion for three characters, and those boxes were placed in Beiping City. You have to take it out when you have the chance. I know you don't have much money on you, and I still have five gold bars on me, and we split them. In the future, you will have to have money in your pocket to bring student soldiers. ”

Mark said, "Let's discuss the retreat route. ”

Qian Jinxin said: "I think it's better to go southeast." The devil knows our plan, and there is an ambush on the line to Beiping. ”

Xiaolu said: "I agree. He looked at the other people and said, "If there is no objection, then it is decided." ”

The devil rushed up again.

On this day, the devil's style of play is different, the devil and the traitor are mixed formations, charging wave after wave. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the special service regiment of the 38th Division and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade defending Beizhai did not retreat.

Dong Shengtang sent the brigade reserve to occupy the reserve position in the north barracks and fight against the hostiles. After an hour of fierce fighting, the position was retracted. Both sides were killed and wounded.

At 4 p.m., the position of the Sergeant Education Regiment defending the southeast corner of the barracks was broken through by the enemy, and the trail and others fell into a fierce battle.

In view of the fact that the south side was not guaranteed and the student soldiers would definitely not be able to support it for long, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, and others felt that the general situation had turned, and decided to transfer the joint headquarters to Nanyuan Beiying Street, and ordered Dong Shengtang to be responsible for commanding all the combat units in the barracks.

At around 5:30, Dong Shengtang received orders from Tong and Zhao: "Our army is all moving towards Yongdingmen, in order to attack again, and Brigade Commander Dong Shengtang leads his troops to stick to the original position and cover the transfer of our army." ”

Xiaolu was in the southeast at this time, and although he got a radio station by himself, he was afraid that the radio station of the headquarters would be broken and he could not be contacted.

Because the news was blocked, it took a long time to receive the news that Zhao Dengyu of Tong Lin Pavilion had withdrawn to the north side, and he was shocked: "Oops." How they did not listen to my counsel! It's a death sentence! ”

By this time, the Cadet Corps had assembled to recapture the southeast corner. Qian Jinxin and the other three found a few armored cars, arranged more than a dozen machine guns on the car, and rushed wildly to beat the devil traitor back.

6 p.m.

The southern end of the north barracks and the martial arts hall were captured by the Japanese army. Some of the team retreated to the north barracks, while others ran east. Several teams broke up.

Dong Shengtang wanted to hold on to the Nanyuan barracks, attract enemy troops, and cover the exhibition hall into Beijing Now, there is still the 9th battalion barracks in the barracks in the hands of the North China Army.

When several of his officers heard this, most of them quit. Sun Yutian said: "Deputy Commander Tong Linge and Division Commander Zhao Dengyu have already broken through to Yongding Gate. There's no need for us to hold on to it. ”

Another officer said, "yes." The task of cover has been accomplished, so why should we continue to hold on to this dead place? ”

Dong Shengtang said: "Actually, I also want to rush out." In my opinion, we will not go to Beiping. The only way out is to rush south, to Hebei, and the first step is to Gu'an County. There were no Japanese troops there. What do you think? ”

Everyone roared: "Rush." and went south. ”

At half past six o'clock, all the North China soldiers in the Nanyuan barracks gathered and charged towards the troops on the south wall of the Nanyuan barracks and the shooting range position to charge the enemy in front of them. The other officers also took up their long arms and struck the enemy to the south.

The North China Army is desperate this time, if you escape, you will die, and if you can't escape, you will die. Four or five thousand desperate men quickly formed a huge flow of people, and the impact force was huge, and the enemy in front of the southern wall and the shooting range position was quickly torn open. The devils next to him came over for reinforcements, and saw that the North China Army had run away.

It wasn't until the next morning that Brigadier Dong Shengtang was out of danger. Counting the number of people, the 38th Division was still fully armed with less than 4,000, and suffered heavy casualties.

Check the number of the soldiers who came out, all of them are from that unit, but the student soldiers of the sergeant education regiment are missing.

Where are these student soldiers? Their regiment commander heard that he was dead, and he also said that he had followed Brigade Commander Dong, but there was no accurate news. What about the soldiers? There was no news of the student soldiers at all.
