The excitement of Chengde's recovery soon cooled in the cruel facts, and the Japanese army bombed indiscriminately with planes and artillery, and the city was filled with fires, and businesses and houses collapsed one after another, as if the sky was falling. The chaos is at its extreme.

The third regiment of the 117th Brigade of Sun Dianying's division fought fiercely in the gunner's camp of Hongmiaozi, and the position was not lost for several days, during which the volunteers who retreated to Rehe in Fengtian fought hard against the Japanese army, killing and wounding hundreds of puppet soldiers, but the volunteers with backward equipment also suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Japanese aircraft and armored vehicles. The fight was not exhausted, and retreated into the mountains to continue the war of resistance.

The Japanese army used its absolute firepower superiority to attack Jianchang Camp, Shanshuipo and other places successively, and Sun Dianying took advantage of the night battle that night to send troops to fight with the Japanese army repeatedly, and launched a fierce white-knuckle battle, fighting fiercely for several hours, and recaptured the position in his hands. In the Jianchang camp, the people near the slopes of the mountains and rivers enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and cooked rice and boiled water overnight to send to the soldiers who had not stopped fighting.

After several days of fierce fighting with the Japanese army, the Japanese reinforcements continued to arrive, and the bombardment was fierce, and the magistrate of Chifeng County considered that the war continued, and the entire Chifeng could be destroyed by the war, and the people in the city were displaced and unresettled, so he sent the president of the peasant association to implore Sun Dianying to withdraw the army. Sun Dianying was tired of fighting the Japanese army at this time, and he was unable to hold on any longer, and at this time he received the news that Tang Yulin had fled from Rehe, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat west and continue to build fortifications in Erdaohezi. However, at this time, Tang Yulin's 5th Army Corps and Wan Fulin's 4th Army Corps had retreated to the front line of the Great Wall, Sun Dianying's defense line was in danger under the attack of the Japanese army, and Chengde, which Zhuang Huchen was still holding at this time, was also a prominent part of the Great Wall defense line, and Japanese troops from all walks of life came one after another.

Tom tom tom ............

Compared to the tragic situation of Chifeng. At this time, Chengde can be regarded as overturned. The gunfire continued from day to night. The Japanese army entered the city several times. was driven out again by Zhuang Huchen. The cavalry regiment scattered by Shao Jianbing also encountered once with the Japanese puppet army near Heishuigou. After each side left more than 200 corpses, the cavalry office that returned to Chengde for rectification was less than 300 people.

"Tuanza, when will our reinforcements come up?" Xie Zhimin, the commander of the 27th Battalion, was wrapped in a circle of gauze on his head, and there were blood stains oozing out from the trap, Rao was still fighting on the front line, and the entire battalion was still fighting together to fill a company.

"The vanguard has crossed the Great Wall, but the Northeast Army has retreated too quickly. We must be ready to continue the hard fight. Fortunately, he left a back hand before, and after interception, he sent out more than 2,000 reinforcements in the rout. Zhuang Huchen opened a pair of bloodshot eyes. YOUR BATTALION HAS BEEN BUILT INTO AN EMPTY SHELF, GIVE YOU 300 MEN, WITHDRAW AND REORGANIZE ON THE SPOT, AND I WILL GIVE YOU TWO MORE MACHINE GUNS AND 2 82MM MORTARS FROM THE REGIMENT HEADQUARTERS. ”

"The 28th Battalion took over the defensive task of the 27th Battalion, and there were more and more Japanese troops outside the city, and it was no longer appropriate for the cavalry to go out to fight, so Commander Shao and the 29th Battalion would join forces to be responsible for the defense of the gap in the city wall and the north gate." Zhuang Huchen watched as several people were assigned combat tasks again.

Rumble! There was a tremor of the nearby mountains. Even the corner of the command room was blown up, and the soldiers outside opened the door with a shout. Shouting regimental seats, camp seats and the like.

"Little Japan is fighting again. It's really unsafe. Zhuang Huchen took the lead in waving the sand on his hat and jumped out of the collapsed house under the response of the guards, and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Damn, thousands of Japanese troops have been fighting around Chengde for several days and have not completed the task, and this cannon has almost been knocked down." ”

Shao Jianbing added a scar and showed an ugly smile on his face, if the Japanese army killed their two regiment commanders and a few battalion commanders, it would be a lot of fun.

Chengde, who had rested for a while, was once again immersed in blood and fire.

The long whistle sounded at the Beiping Railway Station, and relative to Shao Jianbing's cavalry regiment, the Zhuang Huchen regiment rushed all the way to Chengde in a car. There was also a lightly armed infantry. The main force and heavy artillery regiment of the Provisional 1st Army led by Wang Tiehan seemed to be belated.

Syllable! One by one, the heavy iron plates of the open train were lifted to the ground. Pick up the sackcloth and reveal a hideous heavy cannon inside.

One, two, three! With the combined efforts of the soldiers, the artillery was pushed down one after another. Corresponding to this was the brigade of soldiers who quickly exited the station.

Rushing......

The soldiers of the brigade trotted all the way in, and the murderous atmosphere that came to their faces made those students and citizens on the streets mistaken, and they were used to seeing the laziness and lowness of the Northeast Army. Suddenly, seeing this army wearing blue-gray military uniforms gave people a straight impact to the heart. The sound formed by the neat footsteps is like undulating waves, and they beat on people's hearts one after another.

And the terrifying cannon was dragged around the corner by the horse to merge into this majestic team, adding a few murderous aura to this army. There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no shore. Zhang Zhibang's 2nd Division was originally 13,000 men, except for a support force. At this time, there are still more than half, plus Weng Zhaoyuan's temporary 2nd Brigade, there are still more than 13,000 people, and the troops lined up in several rows are advancing one after another, giving people a kind of stretching majesty.

While the defeated troops in front of them flew one after another like snowflakes, there was still such a majestic army resolutely heading north.

"The 15th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army is provisionally organized into 2 divisions and 2 brigades." As the numbers of the two armies came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves. The appearance of most of the 15th Route Army was immediately like a raging fire thrown into the cloudy, low-lying Beiping.

"Headmaster, headmaster, look, the 15th Route Army, over there is Commander Jiang's 15th Route Army!" A few students on the side of the street stood on tiptoe, their faces flushed with excitement and pointed to the queue that was rushing towards them.

"I saw it, I saw it!" Jiang Menglin nodded again and again, equally overwhelmed with excitement.

One, two, three, four!

The soldiers shouted the slogans of the usual training, Wang Tiehan sat on horseback, looked at the citizens, the excitement of the students, and couldn't help but feel a little more dignified in his heart. Compared with the original Mukden, the people of Peking are undoubtedly lucky. At this time, the teams of Shanxi and Shaanxi to support the defense line of the Great Wall also reached the halfway point one after another. There is still hope that Peiping will be saved. Just looking at the soldiers of the Northeast Army who silently retreated to the side in the distance, Wang Tiehan flashed a trace of heartache, once upon a time, the combat strength of the Northeast Army was not the top in the country, but when the old commander was there, the Northeast Army was the object of attention no matter where it appeared, and He Zeng seemed to retreat to an inconspicuous corner now.

At this time, Yu Xuezhong, who came to inspect the situation, looked at Wang Tiehan and felt a little complicated, the young marshal was originally going to let Wang Yizhe come over, but Wang Yizhe had no face to face Wang Tiehan, an old subordinate in the past, so he pushed down the errand, so Yu Xuezhong came over.

"Down with Japanese imperialism, long live the 15th Route Army!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism, long live the 15th Route Army!"

At this time, who was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted, and the other citizens and students suddenly made a sound like a tsunami. (To be continued.) )
