"Peking must not be abandoned at this time." Zhao Tieshu, who had already hurried to Changping with the headquarters, was standing in his headquarters at this time, facing the large map in front of him.

"Beiping was the ancient capital of several dynasties, and the recent Nanjing took the place of Beiping. As the capital of the former Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it is also an important town in the north, and Tianjin is now the northern gateway. If it is lost, the whole of Hebei will not be protected, and Chahar will also fall into the point of fighting alone. But now the area between Beiping and Tianjin has been cut off by the Japanese army, Tianjin, the north of Beiping, and the east are all Japanese troops, and the main force of Commander Zhao's group army has not yet arrived, so at this time it is considered to hold Beiping. Tianjin is bound to fall if it does not get assistance, and now Beiping and Tianjin are like water hyacinths, pressing this end, and the other end will stilt up. ”

Qin Dechun was also a little annoyed in his heart, the 29th Army's movements were too slow before, so that now several weak places in the entire defense line have been broken into by the Japanese army. Now even if Zhao Tieshu comes over with a reinforcement quickly, he can't make up for the flaws exposed before, after all, the Japanese army on the other side is not a fool, let Zhao Tieshu calmly arrange it.

"So I have to open up the connection between Beiping and Tianjin first, avoid the isolation of the two places by the Japanese army, break each one, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements later, although it will not be able to hold Beiping, but it can finally maintain a period of time to withdraw the personnel, machinery, and cultural relics of Beiping and Tianjin as much as possible." Zhao Tieshu's baton was a little heavier on the map.

"Commander Zhao means to counterattack Langfang!" Qin Dechun's eyes suddenly widened, although the Northwest Army has always been strategically strong, and has won a lot of battles against Japan, beating the Central Army. All the local armies looked down on the Northwest Army. But they wanted to regain the lost territory from the Japanese army. This is too hard to believe, even if the Northwest Army can fight, but the Japanese army at this time is no longer comparable to the Japanese army during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the former 29th Army relied on the Great Wall defense line, relying on the previous blood and courage to fight with the Japanese army, and always held on for some time. Now the officers and men of the 29th Army are still the same as they were back then, but the combat strength of the Japanese army has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the ground firepower is stronger than before. The overwhelming bombing of the aircraft group was even more difficult to parry, and at this time, the counterattack on Langfang, as long as it could not be taken overnight, in the daytime, it was necessary to defeat the Japanese aircraft group head-on. Qin Dechun is also an old man who experienced the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, at this time, the number of Japanese planes has doubled compared to before?

"Yes, only by retaking Langfang can we win a little respite." Zhao Tieshu's face sank like water, and when Xi'an swore to the army, the Japanese army had just started at Lugou Bridge. The situation has not deteriorated to such an extent. But the situation took a sharp turn for the worse than Jiang Li expected, and the Northwest Army was not the same at this time. It is not trivial to prepare the materials of the two group armies to travel thousands of miles. Beiping, Tianjin is about to fall, Beiping as the ancient capital of several dynasties, the accumulation of countless historical relics, once the fall, the blow to Chinese culture will be immeasurable, in contrast, the use of the most mobile ability of the mechanized 2 brigade long-distance attack, breaking into the Japanese army has prepared the front, although it may be all gone, Jiang Li is also at most painful for a while, the mechanized brigade can be rebuilt, but the loss of cultural heritage in Beiping can not be made up.

"If Commander Zhao is confident that it will be best to take it down, no, I have to go to Beiping again, and inform the military seat to make preparations in time." Qin Dechun thought about it and decided to go back to Beiping, after all, the front was shaken before, and Song Zheyuan had already made the best plan, but since Zhao Tieshu was so convincing at this time, Qin Dechun also believed a little, after all, the combat power of the Northwest Army was still good, even if it failed to retake Langfang in the end, it was enough to delay the Japanese army for a day or two, and it would allow the 29th Army to breathe

"Hurry, hurry up, give Lao Tzu some hands and feet, and clean up the things on the street as soon as possible!" Hu Zhijun shook the fan and urged the laborers who were carrying the sundries.

"Dog traitor!" A half-sized man walked forward with his bare arms carrying half a bag of broken bricks and stones, and he couldn't help but spit out when he saw Hu Zhijun, who was the introduction of the tiger.

"Dog, be quiet, don't die." A middle-aged man next to him, who was also barefoot and dark-faced, pushed a small cart of tatters, and reminded the young man in a low voice, while his eyes looked around, lest the words of this young man just now be heard by those traitors.

"Hurry up, what are you doing!" Hu Zhijun saw that the two of them were moving slowly, and they came over quickly, supporting one hand on their waist, revealing the box cannon pinned to their waist. looked at the two of them with disdain, "If you don't work hard, don't fucking want to eat dinner." ”

A few days ago, the Japanese army attacked Langfang, dozens of planes almost bombed this area into ruins, and a large number of houses and houses collapsed. The casualties were not small. Coupled with some dilapidated fortifications left by Tong Zeguang's 113th Brigade before, Langfang was in a mess at this time. Langfang is an important town connecting Pingjin, and it is one of the forward supply stations in Baoding in the south.

When the Japanese army occupied this place, it was natural to restore order here and prepare for the southward movement of the army behind. Before the fierce battle between the two sides, the casualties on both sides added up to nearly 1,000 people, and there were hundreds of corpses left, and the corpses had just been cleaned up two days ago, at this time blood stains could be seen everywhere on the road, and the corpses were piled up in the mass graves in the south, and dozens of people pulled a cart of dry firewood, and piled the corpses that were about to rot on the dry firewood, and the godless eyes were full of pain and numbness. In the past, these men who defended their families and the country were discarded here like mustard. And those Japanese who killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil, became the new masters of Langfang at this time. That's it, these sons and daughters who died in battle, let's go with this fire, cast a good baby in the next life, and don't come to this troubled world again. The emaciated village elder poured some oil on the dead branches, tremblingly threw the torches down, and the flames on the messy dead branches gradually rose higher, and finally burned into a raging flame, and the corpses of the soldiers killed in the 113th Brigade were sizzling in the flames. The former hot-blooded men have all turned into ashes at this moment.

The people who pulled the corpses looked at the charred corpses in the fire, and many of them had already choked up and turned their heads.

There was a faint roar, followed by a slight tremor of the ground.

The men who handled the corpses looked in disbelief, and saw in the distance that the cars of the brigade were pulling the soldiers, and there were some iron monsters faintly in the middle, and the barrels on which were not very thick looked like cannon barrels.

"Country, country* army. It's our army coming! Our army has fought back! The thin body of the village elder trembled, and at this time, the image of the soldiers in blue-gray military uniforms suddenly became taller, these soldiers fought against the Japanese who were far stronger than them, and these people still fought back without hesitation.
