Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

The 918 Incident broke out in 31, and the Japanese army invaded and occupied the three eastern provinces and single-handedly concocted the puppet Manchukuo. Under the management of the Kwantung Army, the Northeast has now become an important strategic rear of the Japanese army, and it is a starting point for further invasion.

In the face of the current empty army in North China, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold back the greed in their hearts and began to make careful preparations for the invasion of North China and Pingxi. He also ordered the North China garrison army to occupy Fengtai, a military stronghold, in three or six years by despicable means.

After completing the three-sided encirclement of Beiping, leaving the Lugou Bridge, the only passage to the outside of Beiping, they began to play crooked again. In order to occupy this strategic location, cut off the contacts between Beiping and other parts of the south, and then control the Jicha authorities, so that North China could completely separate itself from the government of the Republic of China, the Japanese army continued to conduct provocative military exercises near the Lugou Bridge.

For this long-planned invasion by the Japanese army, He Zhengdao, who returned to the independent column, also secretly mobilized the main force of the 1st Division to go to the Suixi Military Division. This is also a preparation for the Suiyuan War of Resistance that is about to start again.

As an extremely important strategic rear of the Red Army at present, the importance of Yulin is self-evident. He Zhengdao, who returned to the independent column, gave the order to the forward guarding troops to block the enemy from the base area.

Even shortly after returning to Yulin, He Zhengdao specially recruited the responsible person of the border district government and began to carry out an air raid warning drill throughout the city. Instruct the people of Yulin on how to effectively carry out air defense and beware of air raids that may be carried out by little devils.

Besides. According to the current situation, He Zhengdao also intends to relocate the arsenal to. Some areas that are able to withstand air strikes. This kind of preparation made Yulin's anti-war atmosphere. It seems to have increased several times all at once.

Even many ordinary people do not quite understand why such air defense exercises are being conducted. But looking at the propagandists who work door-to-door, the people of Yulin gradually know that the little devil is very cruel.

If you don't know in advance, how to effectively dodge air raids. In the future, if the little devil's plane really flies to Yulin City, it will also cause heavy casualties to the people. Therefore, the necessary air defense drills are also aimed at preserving the lives of the people in the future.

When the Saber Special Combat Team in the area of Lugou Bridge was sent back to the Japanese army on the afternoon of the 7th. Dispatching the 1st Wing of the North China Garrison Army, loaded with guns and ammunition, to the forward position of the defenders close to the Lugou Bridge, He Zhengdao knew that a full-scale war of resistance was about to break out.

He Zhengdao, who came to the telecommunications room in person, said with a serious expression: "Call back the saber team, pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, and send back the information to the battlefield in time." Before receiving a combat order, it is forbidden to reveal one's whereabouts.

In case of emergency, the camera can be withdrawn from the battlefield. In the event of a Japanese encounter, the Sabre squad is allowed to counterattack in self-defense. Before receiving an order from headquarters. They must not be good at conducting operations against the Japanese army, and maintain contact with the column at any time. ”

After this telegram was sent, He Zhengdao continued: "The situation detected by the saber squad will be transferred to the headquarters, and my suggestions will be attached. Let the headquarters be ready to announce the all-out anti-Japanese war at any time, the little devil is only afraid that he will do it! ”

After receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao, he looked at the location of the Lugou Bridge on the military map. Mr. Zhu said with a solemn expression: "This exercise of the little devil, I'm afraid that the comer is not good!" Seemingly. There is not much time left for us to go to the front! ”

'Yes! Before each big war, the little devils will be carried out in the name of exercises. This time they turned out to put the exercise troops. Pulled under the nose of the garrison of the 29th Army, it seems that he is really ready to do it.

Order the troops of our defense zones to be ready for battle at any time. At the same time, forward this telegram to Enlai, and it is best to ask Lao Chiang to call the 29th Army, so that the 29th Army is ready to go to war at any time. ’

'I'm afraid that Lao Jiang may not be as we wish!' For the Song Zheyuan Department of the 29th Army, Lao Jiang actually has no good feelings. In the final analysis, the 29th Army is also the old foundation of the Northwest Army! ’

'If Lao Jiang doesn't send a telegram, we can't control it. However, this situation can still be reported to Lao Jiang, to show our sincerity, but also to let Lao Jiang know that our ability to inquire about news in the Beiping area is very strong.

If war does break out tomorrow, I will see how long he can find a reason to delay the matter of bipartisanship. It's just that if the Japanese army really attacks Beiping, we are afraid that we will have to make some preparations.

It is better to send a telegram to Peng Dehuai, so that he can be ready to occupy Xi'an at any time. If war really breaks out on the front line, I believe that Lao Chiang will take this opportunity to transfer the Northeast Army out of Xi'an. This is still very bad for us.

Since we are currently cooperating well with the Northeast Army, we can completely seize Xi'an City before the Central Army and smoothly take Xi'an City. If we can occupy the whole of Shaanxi, it will also be very helpful for our future war of resistance. ’

Since the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident, the Northeast Army has been in turmoil again in February, although it has eventually been quelled. But the life of the Northeast Army is not very good at present. Even if they have generals in Nanjing, they have already seen Zhang Xueliang under house arrest.

But no matter what the generals of the Northeast Army say, Lao Jiang is determined not to let Zhang Xueliang come back. In this case, Zhang Xueliang also instructed the Northeast Army to obey the dispatch of the Central Army, but also to have more contact and communication with the Red Army.

If the Northeast Army is transferred out of Shaanxi in the future, it is better to quietly transfer Xi'an to the Red Army. It is believed that the Red Army, which owes the Northeast Army a great favor, will give more help to the Northeast Army in the future anti-Japanese battlefield.

It was this private agreement that Mao Taizu also realized that the opportunity for the Red Army to occupy Xi'an peacefully was imminent. The Third Army, which had long since moved its troops to Jingyang, Xi'an, had been waiting for orders from the headquarters.

Once the Northeast Army moves its defenses, the three main divisions of the Third Army will take over Xi'an as quickly as possible. In addition, a cavalry brigade selected from the independent column was also on standby in the Weinan area, ready to enter Tongguan at any time.

As long as Tongguan is taken over, even if the remaining Central Army wants to come in, I am afraid that it will not be easy. At that time, it is believed that the Red Army, which has a Shaanxi, will also be able to develop further.

Most importantly, it is also conducive to strengthening the security of the base areas and allowing the Red Army to have a longer strategic depth. It was with these in mind that Mao Taizu would give the order to the Third Army and let them start to prepare.

At around 5 a.m. on 8 July, the Japanese troops during the exercise suddenly launched an artillery bombardment on the defenders of the 29th Army stationed at Lugou Bridge. Seeing this situation, the saber squad also transmitted the information back to the column combat headquarters in a timely manner as soon as possible.

Since the afternoon, He Zhengdao has been staying at the operational headquarters, quietly waiting for the arrival of news from the front. Knowing that the Japanese army had really launched an artillery bombardment, He Zhengdao sighed and said: "The Lugou Bridge is dangerous!" The little devil has finally done it! ”

Even if He Zhengdao has been waiting for this day, but when this day really comes, He Zhengdao knows that this means that it is time for countless heroes and daughters in China to shed their blood. And this battle will be a real all-out war of resistance!

This telegram will be forwarded to Headquarters immediately. At the same time, a telegram was sent to all combat units and garrison units of the column, announcing that they had entered a state of first-class combat readiness. In the Suixi Military Division, all the defending troops entered the positions and were always on alert to the incoming enemy. ’

Sun Shicheng, who heard this, said with a little surprise: "Commander, is the little devil serious this time?" ”

'What do you think?' This has all started shelling the positions of the 29th Army, can it still be fun? ’

As the telegram was transmitted back to the headquarters, the officer who received the telegram went to Mao Taizu's residence to deliver the news as soon as possible. Mao Taizu, who had read the telegram, also said with a solemn expression: "Inform the boss and the heads of the Military Commission to have a meeting at the headquarters!" ”

In the early morning of the 8th, when the Red Army began to enter the seminar, the headquarters of the 29th Army, which was far away at the Lugou Bridge, also issued an order to 'ensure the safety of the Lugou Bridge and Wanping City, and the position should be the grave of Er, and should live and die with the bridge and not retreat.'

At the same time, Lao Jiang, who was far away in Nanjing, was also hurriedly woken up by the attendant officer. Lao Jiang, who was originally a little unhappy, heard the attendant officer say: "Bench, the 29th Army is in an emergency, the Japanese army is attacking the Lugou Bridge, and the situation is critical!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Jiang was also shocked but also very angry. Because he knew that since the Japanese army dared to attack the Lugou Bridge, it meant that they were going to start the war to invade Pingyuan and North China.

When the 29th Army soon issued a telegram, the news of the Japanese invasion of Beiping spread, and the Red Army, which was in the middle of the meeting, soon issued a telegram, the first to criticize the North China garrison army for the brazen invasion of Beiping.

'Compatriots of all China, Pingjin is in danger! North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger! Only when the whole nation carries out the war of resistance is our way out! As soon as this telegram came out, the 77 incident meant an official outbreak.

In view of this situation, the Central Army also quickly issued a telegram, encouraging the 29th Army to hold Beiping and let the little devils know the strength of the Chinese soldiers. This kind of empty electrification, many people don't want to look at it.

In private, Lao Jiang strictly ordered Song Zheyuan to stick to Wanping City and not retreat, and Lugou Bridge and Changxindian must not be lost. For such an order, Song Zheyuan also felt very helpless.

But looking at the greeting telegrams sent one after another, Song Zheyuan suddenly felt that he seemed to be known to the whole world again. In this case, even if he wants to negotiate peace with the Japanese army, he is afraid that the effect will not be great.

Song Zheyuan, who was staying in Beiping, knew very well that it would not be easy for him to resist the invasion carefully prepared by the Japanese army with only the 29th Army. But he knew that at this time he had no way back.

In the face of the great enthusiasm of various domestic organizations to support the anti-Japanese resistance, there was also support and encouragement for the officers and men of the 29th Army to resolutely fight back against the Japanese army. Song Zheyuan also knew that he was afraid that he would go all out in this battle.

If Beiping is lost, the 29th Army under his command, in addition to completely losing its territory, is afraid that he, the army commander, will not end well. Therefore, in the face of today's situation, Song Zheyuan does feel a little forced to Liangshan.

At this time, there will definitely be a huge price to pay for dying with the Japanese army. But if the existing defensive position is abandoned, then his position as the commander of the 29th Army can almost be declared over!
