At this time, Sun Liren's mechanized 2nd Brigade was like a rock blocking Langfang, resisting the fierce attack of the main force of the 20th Division, although Kawagishi Bunzaburo exhausted his means of life, and sent his men down the mountain to Fengwen, the tiger general, but although the 20th Division was not bad, Sun Liren's mechanized 2nd Brigade was not a soft-footed shrimp, and nailing it to Langfang was not something that the 20th Division could gnaw on in three or two days. Considering that the main force of Zhao Tieshu's Second Army was about to arrive, Xiangyue Qingji quickly made arrangements for the army, and Pingjin and Tianjin only needed to open a gap in one place. The persimmon picked up the soft pinch, and Kazuki Kiyoji quickly turned the breakthrough to Beiping, using the fastest speed to break the strength of the 29th Army, which was seriously ill-prepared, in Beiping, and then converging with the main force of the 20th Division to eat Sun Liren's tricky army in one bite.

Compared with the organization and preparation of the previous Songhu War of Resistance and the Great Wall War of Resistance, this Pingjin operation can only be described in a garbled word, although the Northwest Army was killed out of the sky, but the situation in Beiping at this time has not changed much.

Kazuki Kiyoji put the focus of the attack on the main force of the 29th Army and the military headquarters of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, so the Nanyuan operation began. In the battle with Sun Liren, as the main forces of the 20th Division arrived one after another, Kazuki Kiyoshi transferred the Suzuki Shigeyasu Mixed Brigade, which was originally going to attack Langfang, to the front line of Beiping, and completed the work of clearing the enemy forces around Beiping together with the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade. Suzuki Shigeyasu first divided a part of his forces to attack Tongxian, where the 29th Army was stationed. There was only one battalion stationed in Tongxian, but in the face of the superior Japanese army, the battalion commander Fu Hongen still led the whole battalion of soldiers to fight the Japanese army for more than seven hours, and the soldiers of the whole battalion were seriously reduced, and finally there was no hope of defending the city. Fu Hongen led his troops to break through. Tongxian fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

Meanwhile. The 1st Mixed Brigade of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Sajing Ho took a big step and plunged directly into the front line of the Tuanhe River in the southern suburbs of Beiping, and encountered the troops of the 132nd Division led by Zhao Dengyu. The Japanese army came prepared, but Zhao Dengyu was unprepared, but in this case, Zhao Dengyu still led his troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army for nearly two hours, and finally suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, and more than half of the casualties of the whole regiment. Unable to stop the Japanese offensive, Zhao Dengyu had to lead his troops to retreat to Tuanhe.

Just a few hours later. The strength of a wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade of Sakai Hoji came forward near Nanyuan.

"Humph!" After receiving the telegram from the northwest, Song Zheyuan snorted heavily, Jiang Li's words were originally on the heavy side. However, Feng Zhanhai naturally did not follow Jiang Li's original words, but in this critical situation, Nanyuan's troops were seriously insufficient, and then withdrawing the student army was not only equivalent to ceding Nanyuan to the Japanese army, but also how much Nanyuan's army could withdraw, only God knows. Although the combat power of those student troops is not strong, they can be of some use when the troops are stretched thin at this time. Now Song Zheyuan is not jealous. As long as it can be pulled into the basket, it is a dish. However, the supply of ordnance in the back did depend on the Northeast Army to a considerable extent, not to mention anything else. The five thousand new rifles and three million rounds of ammunition promised by Jiang Li alone could alleviate his urgent need.

At this time, the Japanese army had already appeared nearby, and his command must evacuate Nanyuan, otherwise the Japanese army might break up the command with a charge, and what would he do to command the troops later.

"At this time, our army's troops in Nanyuan are less than 8,000 people, including more than 1,500 student soldiers, and nearly 1,000 civilian, field, and logistics personnel, and the actual combat army is only about 5,000 people, and only the two regiments of the teaching regiment and the Sun Yutian special service brigade are a little stronger in combat effectiveness, but these three regiments are all dissatisfied, and only about 3,000 people are actually more than half the fighting force, and according to the current intelligence, the Japanese army that detoured to the southwest alone has as many as one wing, and this battle is very dangerous."

Chief of Staff Zhang Yueting said with a solemn face, at this time, Zhang Zizhong's two regiments were mainly responsible for guarding against the Japanese troops in Benfengtai and Changxindian. I can't afford to take care of Nanyuan at all. At the beginning, these student armies were arranged in the rear of Nanyuan, but as much as possible to prevent these student armies from going to the battlefield, but who knew that the Japanese army saw the needle and directly detoured back to Nanyuan, the southwest direction, which seemed to be the most unlikely place to attack. The initial expectation was insufficient, so that at this time, this garrison had no decent defense facilities except for a three-meter-high wall. Tong Linge, who was also old in the military formation, temporarily ordered a trench to be dug, partially mined, and a small number of fortifications added.

"It is too dangerous for the military headquarters to be located in Nanyuan at this time, I must withdraw to Beiping, and send Zheng Dazhang's cavalry to inform Zhao Dengyu and transfer him to Nanyuan to command the war." Song Zheyuan ordered with difficulty, the northwest attaches importance to those students, how can he not, even if he retreats to Beiping at this time, he may not be safe.

"This is also a way, but Tong Linge is now the deputy commander and has a lot of experience, wouldn't it be good not to let him command the battle, but let Zhao Dengyu come." Zhang Yueting said hesitantly.

"Deputy Army Commander Tong does have a hand in training, but he has never had any soldiers under him, and he has not been in battle in recent years, so he may not be able to command those proud generals below. However, with his position as deputy commander, he obeyed orders below, which is really not good, so let him command with Zhao Dengyu and Zheng Dazhang, who is about to be withdrawn. Song Zheyuan thought about it and gave such a very unreliable order.

Zhang Yueting thought about it carefully, although he felt that Song Zheyuan's order was inappropriate, but at this time, in this rotten situation, he couldn't think of a better way. Song Zheyuan was right, although Tong Linge was capable, he hadn't commanded combat for a few years. And if you don't have the strength at hand, it's really difficult to command other generals. Even if Zhao Dengyu knows the general situation, the generals under Zhao Dengyu may not be convinced. You can't let Zhao Dengyu pass the word every time you give an order. Let Tong Linge command with Zhao Dengyu and others, on the one hand, considering that his ability is really good, and on the other hand, it is also to take care of his face as a deputy army commander.

At this time, the Japanese army had just arrived near Nanyuan, and the situation in Nanyuan was not very clear, so they sent cavalry to reconnoiter nearby. The soldiers spontaneously cleared an open space so that when the Japanese attacked, it would be more convenient for their own shooting. However, the work was not done thoroughly, and only about 400 meters were cleared, but this was almost enough for the soldiers of the 29th Army, who lacked heavy weapons and relied on rifles for the greatest firepower. The Japanese soldiers were very bold, and the range of cavalry reconnaissance was getting closer and closer, and some even approached less than 100 meters of the wall, and the students who climbed the ladder to the top of the wall fired their guns together, although some of the bullets hit the sky, but the bullets that shot out were dense, and the blind cats also hit the dead rats, and most of these student soldiers who only walked through the queue also killed two or three soldiers. An earth-shattering cheer erupted from the mouths of the students, who had practiced for so long, but this was the first time that a Japanese soldier had been killed.

It's just a pity that the deterioration of the situation on the battlefield has exceeded the expectations of these student troops. Song Zheyuan briefly told the student army about the situation of the war, and asked the student army to withdraw to Beiping with his military headquarters. But the student army was all indignant, but with enthusiasm, they refused to evacuate, and at this time there was not much time left for Song Zheyuan, and as a last resort, Song Zheyuan had to temporarily lead the military headquarters to evacuate.
