Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath, he knew that because the army attacked Rehe twice as many troops as before, it could be said that it was swept by a thunderous momentum, and the time point of the battle in history may no longer be used as a reference, Zhang Xuewu knew that he would face a battle that was absolutely new compared to history.

Soon, because of the loss of Tang Yulin's backbone, whether it was the pistol regiment that was moving the guard battalion or the freight station, all of them were disarmed to Zhang Xuewu, but Zhang Xuewu also left a battalion of the pistol regiment to escort Tang Yulin's crying and crying more than a dozen aunts and wives back to Beiping.

After counting the materials, Zhang Xuewu was a little dumbfounded, Tang Yulin had already transported two batches of family wealth to Tianjin, this is the last and largest batch, more than 15,000 strips, three million oceans, a large number of silver ingots, countless jewelry, antiques, and more than eight tons of high-quality Rehe "high smoke"! Zhang Xuewu was dazzled, and he really admired Zhang Yulin's ability to bring the tax revenue of Rehe to the fifty-third year of the Republic of China in the eighteenth year of the Republic of China.

Zhang Xuewu has never been a rich man, he has not seen the batch of oceans that seized Zhou Ying before, compared to the fact that a random section-level corrupt official in later generations can collect hundreds of millions of dollars to flee abroad, Zhang Xuewu's nerves have long been shocked.

However, when he saw the boxes of silver dollars with his own eyes, Zhang Xuewu regretted it, and he shouldn't have returned the silver dollars that were loaded with dozens of cars to Zhou Ying! It's all money!

Li Xinkai grabbed a handful of oceans and threw them away, and the gendarmes on the side couldn't help but look at the two of them sideways, Zhang Xuewu knew that where people's greed came from, even he was a little reluctant to let go at the moment! It's all money! Real money right in front of your eyes?

Tang Yulin's escape was completely unexpected by Zhang Xuewu, it can be said that Zhang Xuewu knew that Tang Yulin would escape, but he didn't expect to run away so early? And will they abandon their troops and flee without a trace? You must know that the army is the capital and foundation of a warlord's life, Zhang Xuewu thinks that at this moment, Tang Yulin is likely to have been frightened by his own thunderous offensive.

Li Xinkai, chief of staff of the division, and Huang Tao, director of the Political Department, began to work on gathering the leaderless officers and men of the Tang Division, making up the salaries, and integrating them into the existing regiments as companies; according to Li Xinkai's conservative estimates, Tang Yulin's three brigades, plus the guard unit and the pistol regiment, could roughly have 7,000 people willing to join the new First Division.

Zhang Xuewu also knew that this kind of blatant annexation of friendly forces was very inappropriate, especially the replenishment of the Central Military Headquarters must be submitted to the Ministry of Military Affairs for review, but he had no other way at present, because from the perspective of the current war situation, it was impossible for the new First Division to join forces with Huang Jiezhi's Second Division and Guan Zhenglin's 25th Division in Chengde!

The 17,000-strong troops gave Zhang Xuewu a slight confidence in his heart, in addition to the change of equipment and disrupted the organizational structure, and distributed the units to each regiment with company platoon units, Zhang Xuewu transferred two battalions of troops from each regiment and each regiment as the general reserve directly under the division headquarters, and dispatched all the troops to carry out a large-scale demolition and relocation of the urban area of Chengde, and all the materials that could be used were dismantled and transported away.

And in the wrong Donggang on the north and south streets, all the houses within 300 meters were demolished, all the shooting boundaries were cleared, the artillery marked the dense coordinates, and the two key points were held, leaving an interspersed route for the army in the middle, so that Chengde City became a meat grinder for himself! In addition to the deployment, Zhang Xuewu did not forget to send a report to Beiping and Nanjing: Rehe Chairman Tang Yulin ignored military law, led the army to abandon Rehe and fled without a trace, and the headquarters gathered the remnants of the Tang Army with the intention of sticking to Chengde.

Zhang Xuewu's preemptive telegram arrived three hours earlier than Tang Yulin's complaint, although the content of the two telegrams accused each other, but no one is a fool, Zhang Xuewu is still in Chengde to fortify, and Tang Yulin refuses to reveal where he is? Now the problem is clear!

Beiping and Nanjing never expected that the occupation of Rehe would collapse to such an extent? The 11th and 36th Infantry Brigades and the 4th Cavalry Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 6th Division along the Kailu Route, together with the 8th and 33rd Infantry Brigades under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division, with the cooperation of Liu Guitang and other units of the puppet Manchu Army, respectively attacked the line from Kailu to Chaoyang Temple, intending to take Chifeng, Quanning and other places to the west. The defenders of Rehe met the Yue army with a total of about 50,000 people from ten brigades of the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps, and the defenders were at a disadvantage in terms of strength, especially most of the departments along the line were making trouble and had no intention of preparing for war.

Cui Xingwu's 7th Cavalry Brigade, which was stationed in Kailu under Tang Yulin's unit, retreated to Lin Dong as soon as the battle began, and soon surrendered to the enemy. Itamoto Masaemon advanced with the main force of the 6th Division to Chifeng and defeated the 117th Brigade of Sun Dianying's headquarters. Late at night, the brigade retreated to Huajiagoumen and Houtougou, and the army immediately occupied Chifeng, and quickly interspersed Chengde with the main flank of the 10th Division!

The 3rd and 16th Infantry Brigades and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 8th Division, which were attacking and advancing towards Chengde along Chaoyang, were lined up with the 27th and 28th Infantry Brigades under the jurisdiction of the 14th Division.

Xiyiyi dispatched all the automatic convoys with the 3rd Cavalry Brigade to advance rapidly along the Chaoyang, Lingyuan, and Pingquan roads, and the 130th Division of Wan Fulin's headquarters set up a position near Ye Baishou to block the Yue army, and under the fierce attack of the Yue army, the unit was forced to retreat to Pingquan. The next time, after the 14th Division of the Chinese Army occupied Lingyuan in a roundabout way, it continued to advance towards Pingquan. After the 130th Division joined up with the 129th Division at Pingquan, it prepared to block the advance of the Japanese army. However, since Wan Fulin's Fourth Army Corps had been shaken on all fronts, the division also retreated towards Xifengkou.

So far, in just one week, under the sweeping of the 200,000 troops of the Yue army, the defenders of Rehe, who have no fighting spirit, have been defeated one after another, and Chengde has been placed in front of the Yue army, and the new first division of the first division that guards Chengde seems to have become a mouthful of fat that has been actively sent into the mouth of Yue himself?

If Chengde falls, it will undoubtedly be a great defeat for the 450,000,000 Chinese people militarily, politically, and even spiritually, and a painful and even unforgettable defeat!

"Chengde must be fortified! Order Xu Tingyao's 17th Army Headquarters to arrive in Chengde before March 10 to reinforce the newly formed 1st Division! To Zhang Xuewu to send electricity, so far when the country is in danger, the party [***] people should cast a shield for the people, for the country, Chengde should not be abandoned and should be fully defended! ”

Chiang Kai-shek slammed the table, the collapse of the Rehe war was beyond his expectations, and he was no longer allowed to do anything to preserve his strength, if he could not give Yue himself a head-on blow, his appetite would grow bigger and bigger, and China would also give Yue the impression of being weak and bullied.

After receiving the call from Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order to execute Tang Yulin to set an example, not only stamped the big seal of the Beiping Army Branch, but also attached his private seal (commonly known as the Great Order of the Northeast Army)!
