Chapter 251: The Great Wall War of Resistance 1
"Zhao Si is romantic, Zhu Wu is crazy, the butterflies are on the right track, the gentle township is the hero's mound, who cares if the East Division enters Shenyang. The urgent military book came in the middle of the night, and the opening strings and orchestras urged each other again. Shenyang has been rested and reviewed, and has hugged Gillian a few times. ”
Although Ma Junwu's poem contains a lot of personal memories and is biased, it was turned out again by the newspaper at this time, which also shows how disappointed the people are with the performance of the Northeast Army. And there is nothing to be done about these people with guns, so they can only complain verbally.
When Zhang Xueliang's car passed through the streets and alleys, he could hear the words of the children walking through the streets and alleys, that is, the soldiers patrolling the streets of the Northeast Army did not care about this kind of thing, and there were too many people who were dissatisfied with the Northeast Army to control it.
The sound of the horn in my ears came and went, and the Pingdingshan tragedy was still in my ears. The performance of the Japanese army, as well as the 15th Route Army, once again pushed him to the cusp. Lost the Northeast without a fight. Again withdrawing from Jinzhou without a fight, the people were undoubtedly disappointed in the Northeast Army. Looking at the shy, listless soldiers on the street, Zhang Xueliang was inexplicably flustered.
"The Japanese are burning, killing and looting in the Northeast, and we are now being poked and scolded by the original fathers and villagers, and the Northeast Army is also looked down upon by the countrymen, what does the young marshal think?" Before returning to his residence, Zhang Xueliang threw a few newspapers on the table in front of Zhang Xueliang and asked.
"The wood is done, and now the situation is irreparable. If the Japanese army invades the south again, the Northeast Army will have no reason to retreat again, and will fight a bloody battle with it to the end, and wash away the shame of the Northeast Army retreating without a fight with the land of the whole country. Zhang Xueliang's face was pale.
"You finally know the current situation, and you retreat again and again. The people of Northeast China are suffering. The hearts of the Northeast Army are about to disperse. If you don't fight again. There is no cohesion at all in the end, just waiting to be broken up by Nanjing. Zhang Zuoxiang sighed, "The 15th Route Army was originally a side branch of our Northeast Army, although there were more than 100,000 casualties in the first battle of Fengtian, but it was this battle that was reborn from the ashes, and moved the Fengtian Arsenal to Lanzhou. I'm afraid that if you don't need to do it in Nanjing, the generals below who are seeking war will lean towards the 15th Route Army. ”
"Uncle Lao, I know." Zhang Xueliang nodded, feeling extremely depressed. If you want to fight, then fight, it's better than being the chairman of Hebei Province, who is scolded by tens of millions of people.
Despite Jiang Li's arrangement, the anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast were several times larger than history in terms of strength and armament, such as Liu Chunqi and other units infiltrated Jinxi County, surrounded several Japanese squads near Longwang Temple and Qian Chu Mountain, and killed Japanese soldiers, including Koga Wing. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, including Captain Saburo Yonei and Captain Hoshino, including more than a dozen officers. And its own loss is only more than 30 people. Created a classic example of movement guerrilla warfare. Zhang Haitian attacked a Japanese brigade headquarters in Tai'an, and surrounded a sweeping infantry squadron of the Japanese army in Liaozhong. More than 300 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded one after another, and two squadron leaders were killed. Li Chunrun's volunteers, who were active in the Fengcheng area, led more than 500 people to conquer the Phoenix City Station, killed more than 50 Japanese puppet soldiers, and captured two machine guns and one mortar.
Immediately after that, he contacted Miao Kexiu to use flexible guerrilla tactics to kill nearly 100 Japanese soldiers and capture more than 30 people, more than 700 infantry machines, 8 machine guns, 2 mortars, 2 mountain guns, 14 baggage trucks, and 1 radio station in the Dadonggou area. It is a classic example of the guerrilla division and the destruction of the Japanese army's large-scale regular army.
In the 32nd year of the Republic of China alone, the Fengtian Volunteers killed 37 officers and more than 6,300 soldiers below the commander of the Japanese army, and finally obtained more than 2,000 rifles, 46 machine guns, 37 cannons, 7 armored vehicles, and 19 automobiles. 3 aircraft. As a result, the losses of the Japanese army have increased by two or three times compared to the original historical losses.
It's just that things don't always go as planned. Although Jiang Li wreaked havoc on the foundation of the Japanese army's construction in the Northeast when he fought the Battle of Mukden, Japan, which was short of resources, urgently needed to re-use the resources of the Northeast for its own use. To alleviate the urgent needs of the country, while resuming construction, we also increased the dispatch of troops to purge the anti-Japanese armed forces in various parts of the northeast. Under the onslaught of the Japanese army, which almost did not count the casualties, the losses of the volunteers in various parts of Mukden were also not small, and the base areas were repeatedly compressed. Li Du, Ding Chao and other allied forces held two battles in Jilin and Changchun, and after killing and wounding more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, they retreated into Heilongjiang together with Wang Delin's volunteers. Most of Jilin and the whole of Mukden were occupied by the Japanese army.
In the winter of the 21st year of the Republic of China, while the Japanese army was preparing to attack the Ma Zhanshan and Li Du coalition forces again in the coming year, in view of the initial determination of the situation in the northeast, the Japanese army, which could not be idle, once again set its sights on the pass. In the name of the puppet state of Manchukuo, he also notified Tang Yulin, chairman of Rehe Province, to send a representative to Beipiao for a meeting, at which the Japanese side put forward a three-point demand to induce Tang Yulin to defect, and Tang Yulin tried to surrender to the enemy in order to maintain his rule over Rehe.
At the same time that Zhang Xueliang strictly ordered Tang Yulin not to surrender to the enemy, he transferred the Miao Chengliu Brigade and Sun Dequan Brigade of the Northeast Army and the 29th and 30th Brigades of Heilongjiang Province to Rehe to strengthen the defense and start building fortifications in October.
In view of the fact that Zhang Xueliang, who had been fleeing, also began to actively prepare for war, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Seki Matsui Shigen, decided to strike first and attack before the northeast military fortifications were perfected. In order to make it easier to attack Rehe, the Japanese army first set its sights on Shanhaiguan, also known as Yuguan, located at the eastern end of the Yanshan Mountains and the Great Wall.
On January 1, 1933, the head of the Japanese Shanhaiguan garrison, Shikuro Ochiai, sent people to throw grenades and fire several shots in the barracks, but they blamed the Chinese army. That is, under this pretext, they put forward to the Chinese side an unreasonable demand that the army, police, and security forces of the Republic of China withdraw from the South Pass and the South Gate of Shanhaiguan. After being rejected by Zhang Xueliang, a unit of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army arrived at Shanhaiguan by four trains and escorted by three armored vehicles. The garrison with Shanhaiguan launched an attack on the Northeast Army with the support of 5 aircraft of the 1st Flying Squadron. Zhang Xueliang prepared for some time in Shanhaiguan, and it was not easy for the Japanese army to take it, the attacking Japanese army was repulsed, and Matsui Shigen immediately sent reinforcements, ordering the commander of the 4th Brigade, Suzuki Mitsu, to work with various units to seize Shanhaiguan. A few months after the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, gunpowder smoke rose again in the north. The Japanese army once again opened their minions, and the cruel truth told Nanjing, which was still busy suppressing bandits, how ridiculous it was to hope for the investigation and mediation of the League of Nations.
