Chapter 375: Battle Pingjin 8
Although Song Zheyuan withdrew, the student army was still intoxicated with the excitement of killing the Japanese soldiers just now, but Tong Linge, the education chief of the student army, Zhang Shouling and others did not have the slightest joy on their faces, and those who were older than the military formation knew that once the Japanese army sent scouts, it would not be more than a day away from the attack at most, and at this time the sky had begun to darken, and the Japanese army would attack at most tonight. The retreat of the Japanese scouts in front of them was nothing more than the calm before the storm. After hearing Tong Linge's reminder, seize the time to rest, recuperate your spirits, and prepare for the Japanese attack after dawn.
However, these student soldiers are still full of romantic fantasies about the war, and after Tong Linge and Song Zheyuan reminded them, most of the students not only did not seize the time to rest, but were so excited that they couldn't sleep. It should be noted that the previous indiscriminate shooting of the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry was also the first live-fire exercise of this group of student soldiers.
The only thing that comforted Tong Linge and the others was that Zheng Dazhang's cavalry and Zhao Dengyu's troops successfully withdrew to Nanyuan before the Japanese attack.
rumble
When night covered the land, most places were silent, except for the war zone, which was full of fleeing civilians and merchants.
Herod
Some wealthy businessmen used horses or donkeys to pull carts full of goods and travel at night.
"One, two, three, force, push!" The owner of a spinning mill struggles with friends and family pushing a low-lying cart. The scale of the spinning mill is not large, and the family and friends who do it in the mill are also in the neighborhood.
"This troubled world, this damn devil, second uncle, where are we going to escape?" A young man in a short brown jacket asked the middle-aged man in a blue robe in front of him.
"To the south." The middle-aged man had a little tiredness on his face, and most of the workers he hired before had run away, after all, they each had a big family. These days, with the help of friends and family, they are scrambling for time day and night. always loaded some machinery and raw materials in the factory, and finally escaped the war whirlpool in the rear.
"Are you going to Baoding?"
"Let's go to Baoding first, and then take a step at a time." The middle-aged man sighed. Mixed in the large army of fugitives, all the way south.
"Baoding is also not safe, and now it is rumored in the north that more than 100,000 Japanese troops are going south, but it is not just as simple as taking Pingjin. If you don't get it right, you're going to attack most of the Republic of China. At this time, a man was riding on a tall horse and wearing a suit. The middle-aged man who looked quite promisingly shook his head and said.
"What, isn't the 29th Army blocking Pingjin? Even the Northwest Army came, and I heard that the Japanese troops on the other side of Langfang had been repulsed, so I didn't know when the Japanese devils would be beaten back. Wasn't the Japanese army blocked a few years ago? The young man said unconvinced.
"The Northwest Army came too late, and the 29th Army on the front line is now difficult to protect itself, and it may not affect the Northwest Army. Let's speed up the pace, don't run if you want to. The middle-aged man on horseback shook his head and said.
"This, this benevolent brother, has the situation really deteriorated to such an extent?" Shi Zhenyuan asked with a palpitating face.
"It's not getting worse than that. But it has deteriorated to an unimaginable level, and the officials in Beiping have already fled, and those of you who run an industry, if you want to find a stable place to settle down, go directly to the northwest. Either go to Shanxi, Hebei is afraid that it will not be able to stay there. The middle-aged man on horseback sighed and urged the horse to go, although the night was dark. However, the scattered torches lit by the overnight escapees intermittently formed into a long snake, and the cry of a baby could be heard from time to time. This fucking mess.
Rumble!
Compared with the chaotic fleeing team, Langfang at this time can be said to be shaking like the mountains, fighting from day to night, without stopping for too long.
But unexpectedly, the night was unusually calm.
"Brigade, here's one." Li Jiusi took out Huaxing brand cigarettes from his pocket. "This Northwest Army is really a good welfare, damn it, you can still use a car to pull these consumables when you are fighting. Hundreds of cars, what a fucking luxury. At first, Tong Zeguang and Li Jiusi were forced to retreat from Langfang, but later Sun Liren drove away the Japanese army in Langfang. After informing Tong Zeguang, Tong Zeguang and Li Jiusi led their troops back to Langfang, and collected a part of the defeated troops, which to a certain extent made up for the lack of strength of Sun Liren's brigade against the 20th Division. Otherwise, the situation that Sun Liren would deal with would only be more difficult.
"You, this is Brigade Commander Sun, and they brought private goods. You're so nervous about the war that they're still able to use cars to carry cigarettes. Tong Zeguang rolled his eyes and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu has fought all his life, and I really haven't seen a brigade that can block a division of the Japanese army. ”
"I really don't have to say that we stayed here at the beginning and fought off several Japanese attacks, but as a result, dozens of Japanese planes blew us up as soon as they flew over. Thanks to the Northwest Army's planes, they fought a few battles here in succession with the Japanese army in the past two days, but they did not fall behind, and they also bombed the Japanese army several times by the way, and the planes in the sky were the same as dumplings, and the two sides each lost nearly 20 planes, and the Japanese planes also lost two more, which is really fucking happy. Now even if we die on the battlefield, we will die as we deserve, how many good men under our command have been killed by Japanese planes. What a wreck! Li Jiusi took a few puffs of cigarettes with all his might, and he smoked nearly half of them in a few times, and this old smoker was very fierce. But this good day is coming to an end after all, and the casualties of Brigade Commander Sun and our people are too serious. ”
"Yes, if there are enough fortifications, as long as they are not bombed by Japanese planes, even if it is a division of the Japanese army, it will not be a problem to support it for a few months, but at the moment it is completely blocked by people, even if our side can barely hold on, the Beiping side may not be able to hold on." Tong Zeguang smiled bitterly, in the final analysis, this area is still the territory of the 29th Army, and as a result, a 29th Army is not as effective as a brigade of the Northwest Army, of course, in Tong Zeguang's eyes, a brigade of more than 8,000 people in the Northwest Army has a solid establishment, which is more than a division of the Northwest Army.
"Whatever, the soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, the situation has been bad until now, and we won't get better if we worry about it. I hope that the reinforcements commanded by Zhao will arrive as soon as possible, and I am afraid that this battle will not be possible by relying on our 29th Army. Li Jiusi threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, stretching his waist, "Rest early, the Japanese army will stop attacking at this juncture, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult tomorrow."
