Chapter 275: The Great Wall of Resistance 14
"Withdraw Wang Yizhe's 67th Army to strengthen Luanxi!" Zhang Xueliang gave such an order with a pale face.
The members of the Beiping Army Branch present were silent, and the increase in defense of Luanxi was just a gold smear on the face of the Northeast Army, losing the Northeast and Jinzhou. There was a small battle in Shanhaiguan, and it was also lost. The Japanese army attacked Rehe, this battle Zhang Xueliang wanted to fight, but things went unexpectedly, the Northeast Army, which had lost its hometown, had dispersed under the previous concessions, and the morale of hundreds of thousands of troops could not change so quickly like Zhang Xueliang's attitude, and construction was easy to destroy and difficult to destroy. It took Zhang Zuolin more than 20 years to build the territory of the Northeast Army from a grass people, and it only took a year to destroy the Northeast Army.
Rehe was lost, and it was not Zhang Xueliang's descendants who were used, but this time several divisions led by Wang Yizhe were in a hurry under the first attack of the Japanese army. From Rehe to the present, whether it is Sun Dianying's 41st Army, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, or Guan Linzheng, who was hastily transferred from the southern part of the Communist Army, Huang Jie and other troops have performed more than one level stronger than the Northeast Army. Even those anti-Japanese volunteers who fought guerrillas had to behave far better than the Northeast Army. So much so that now the Beiping Army branches of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War have abandoned the Northeast Army. As for Wang Tiehan's temporary army transferred from the 15th Route Army, it is even more needless to compare.
From the previous strong one, second only to Nanjing's strength, to now fighting a war and becoming an army that even dislikes miscellaneous cards, there are probably not many people in the Northeast Army who can hang their faces. Zhang Xueliang is undoubtedly a good-looking person, but at present, the illness of the Northeast Army's low combat effectiveness has accumulated and it is difficult to return, including him, there is no good way. can only let other armies stand on the front line of the Great Wall.
The complete loss of Rehe led to a great uproar in domestic public opinion. Originally, Zhang Xueliang at this time should have gone into the wild under these pressures. But due to the sudden rise of the 15th Route Army. Nanjing was worried that after Zhang Xueliang went into the wilderness, the 15th Route Army, which had a deep relationship with the Northeast Army, would take the opportunity to vigorously woo the old headquarters of the Northeast Army, take the opportunity to grow and expand its power to Hebei.
So the responsibility for the loss of Rehe undoubtedly fell on Tang Yulin, in fact, it was worth it to give Tang Yulin more crimes, the 15th Route Army, the Jin Army were mobilizing trucks to transport military supplies and ammunition, but Tang Yulin intercepted more than 200 trucks to pull the fat and ointment that the Tang family had looted in Rehe and withdrew all the way to the Great Wall. As a result, Tang Yulin's 4th Army Corps and the original Rehe Army were all revoked, and those soldiers who fled were absorbed by some teams fighting against the Japanese army nearby. Tang Yulin also had to take his remaining belongings all the way into the concession. Since then, he has withdrawn from the military and political circles of the Republic of China.
In the area of Gubeikou, after Wang Yizhe was defeated under the attack of the Japanese army, the first to rise was Guan Linzheng's 25th Division. Under the condition that the large army was still wearing straw sandals and the conditions were far inferior to those of the Northeast Army at this time, Guan Linzheng immediately commanded the 73rd Division to march quickly to block the gap left by Wang Yizhe and occupy the high ground on the east and west sides of the south of Gubeikou Town. The 75th Brigade was assembled near Huangdaodian.
On the afternoon of the next day, the Japanese army launched a tentative attack on the front of the 25th Division under the cover of artillery fire, and retreated several hours later. On the second day, the Japanese army suddenly assembled the main force to storm the right flank of the 25th Division, and the 145th Regiment of the 73rd Brigade defending the place was quickly cut off by the Japanese army because of its isolation and prominence. Guan Linzheng immediately commanded the 75th Brigade to rush to help, and the Japanese army did not expect Guan Linzheng's counterattack to come so quickly and decisively, and after a fierce battle with Guan Linzheng's troops for several hours. The two armies entered the point of short-handed encounter, and Guan Linzheng personally went to the lower line to command. Because the battle was too fierce, the regiment commander Wang Runbo died, Guan Linzheng was wounded but insisted on being carried down by the guards until the Japanese army was repulsed, and the battle was handed over to Du Yuming, the commander of the 73rd Brigade, as the command.
The next day, the Japanese attacked again, the 145th Regiment was unable to fight, almost all casualties, the communication between the division's subordinate units and the division command post was interrupted, forming a state of fighting separately, the defenders were not supported, and they retreated one after another, and Beigukou was lost. The divisions of the 25th Division retreated to the line of the high ground to the left and right of Nantianmen.
"Stop!" He Qifeng led a platoon of soldiers to stop the hundreds of people who had retreated from outside the Xifeng Pass.
"Lao Tzu is from the 53rd Division of the 119th Army, and now he is ordered to retreat, and he wants to retreat to the Xifeng Pass, why did you stop it...."
"Smack!" Before the other party finished speaking, there was a loud fire.
"Which unit are you from? Why hit someone? Old... My rank is captain, and I beat the officer without permission, and today I have to punish you for the following crimes! Company commander Wang Zhishun covered half of his red mouth and pointed at He Qifeng, seeing He Qifeng's cannibalistic eyes, Lao Tzu didn't say anything after all.
"Just because you are also called Shangguan? Dare to call Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu deserves to execute you on the spot now, listen clearly, Lao Tzu is the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the 15th Route Army. Now you've been co-opted. He Qifeng straightened his military hat and said with a straight face.
"We are from the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army, why did you incorporate our troops? We want to see the Captain! When Wang Zhishun heard that the other party turned out to be from the 15th Route Army, his voice suddenly lowered, and even the voice of the clamor just now became quieter.
"Look at your shrugging appearance, and the face to mention that you are from the 53rd Army, tens of thousands of people fired a few shots into the sky, and ran away when you saw the Japanese, if you want to dig a hole by yourself, you won't have to live in the world and embarrass your parents. Like you, I used to be in the Northeast Army, and I was ashamed of you. Commander Wan is now at least a hundred miles away from Xifengkou, and now he may not know whether he is at the headquarters or where he is visiting the kiln. In a word, either stay and accept the co-optation, or retreat from where to go back to Lao Tzu. The positions of the 15th Route Army were not provided with a road for deserters. He Qifeng said with a disdainful face.
"The Northeast Army is now rotten to the roots. Although the army sent by Nanjing was also defeated in the first formation, the division commander Guan Linzheng personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, which can be regarded as winning time for Huang Jie and Liu Jian to win a stable position in the back, Guan Linzheng can fight, but unfortunately there are many problems with the central military industry, and the firepower is seriously insufficient, otherwise it would not have achieved this result, in addition, the number of radio stations equipped by the troops is too small, once it is divided, the various departments cannot cooperate with each other, which the Japanese army has done better, even if the Japanese brigade is divided, it can be effectively commanded, even if it is our army, The radio station was also only deployed to the regimental headquarters, which was slightly better than the Central Army, but it was also slightly inferior to the Japanese army. Wang Tiehan listened to the report provided by Xiong Fei, deputy chief of staff.
"It's good to be able to do it to this extent. In the past, when I was in the Northeast Army, only the brigade headquarters had such a thing as a radio station, and I changed the local miscellaneous cards, and some divisions did not have this thing. Wang Tiehan waved his hand and said, the 15th Route Army's ability to deploy radio stations to the regimental level is already a creative progress, and further allocation will affect the flexibility of operations at the battalion level. After all, it's not convenient to pick up a big bulky guy to fight. Unless the 15th Route Army is also organized into a Japanese brigade-level headquarters. (To be continued.) )
