The last province to the northeast, Rehe, fell in this way. From the beginning of the Japanese small-scale offensive to the full-scale offensive, it lasted a total of thirteen days.

In fact, it took only two days from the all-out attack on Rehe Province to the full occupation of Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, and Zhang Shaoshuai's Northeast Army once again proved to the world how unworthy of their name was as the first powerful army of the Republic of China at that time.

At the same time, it has once again proved to the world that there is an ancient Chinese military proverb: "If a soldier bears a bear, he will be a nest." ”

Originally, after Zhang Zuoxiang and Tang Yulin, the two commanders in Rehe Province, were the first to escape, there were still some formed units in various parts of Rehe Province that were actively and tenaciously resisting the Japanese army.

For example, the bandit warlord who dug up the grave back then, and Sun Dianying, who made Li Tiekeng very miserable, actively led the crowd to resist. When the Battle of Rehe Province had just begun at the end of February. Sun Dianying was ordered by Young Marshal Zhang to lead his 41st Army to Chifeng to assist in the defense of Rehe Province.

Sun Dianying led the 41st Army, which was poorly equipped, to fight until 4 March, and when the news of the fall of Chengde came, he led his troops to retreat to the area of Houtougoumen, where he fought with the Japanese army for more than ten days. It also inflicted a lot of casualties on the Japanese army.

In the end, Sun Dianying's troops were surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army that had fully occupied Rehe, and they bombed indiscriminately, suffering heavy losses and had to retreat to Chahar Province in the direction of Mongolia for temporary refuge.

Fortunately, in the process of retreating, Sun Dianying took the opportunity to incorporate Tang Yulin's two cavalry brigades, an infantry regiment and other volunteers, which had been scattered, and his strength did not decrease but increased. Otherwise, he would have died with all his heart.

Although there were not a few heroic anti-Japanese troops like Sun Dianying, it was a pity that the other Northeast Army, which was also the defender of Rehe, had no fighting spirit, and either you fled or I ran, and soon exposed the flanks and rear of each brother unit to the Japanese army.

As a result, the Japanese army easily broke through the Rehe defense line, not to mention, but also directly threatened the other Northeast Army, which was fighting hard, and as a result, these Northeast Army, which was fighting, were either divided and surrounded by the Japanese army, and the artillery and planes bombarded indiscriminately and suffered heavy losses, or they were captured alive by the Japanese army when they ran out of ammunition and food.

Only a small number of small units that saw the opportunity early, and at the same time, the relatively lucky small units were able to successfully break out of the encirclement, either turning into the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas, or going north to join Ma Zhanshan in Heilongjiang.

Therefore, on the day of March 4, not only Chengde was occupied, but almost the entire territory of Rehe also fell. Although the Japanese army only announced the full occupation of Rehe Province a few days later, it was because the Northeast Army was defeated so quickly that the Japanese army did not respond at all.

The Japanese Kwantung Army is also the current Manchuria, and no one dares to believe that the Battle of Rehe will be won so quickly, and the Kwantung Army thinks that the Northeast Army, which has already failed once, has learned from the past, how can it be possible to stage a major rout again?

Such a rout once made the latest commander-in-chief of Japan's Kwantung Army, General Taketo Nobuyoshi, think that this was a trick by the squadron to lure the enemy, because last year's Shanghai War of Resistance had fully demonstrated that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people was not bad.

However, on the day of March 4, when the Japanese army really fully occupied the whole province of Rehe, Wu Teng Xinyi realized that it turned out that the soldiers in southern China were too capable of fighting, and the Northeast Army was too big to fight.

In this way, isn't the northeast defenders who retreated to the pass also unable to fight? Since this is the case, he simply left a part of the troops in Rehe to guard Rehe, and then ordered the other two divisions to continue to attack the defense line of the Great Wall.

Maybe you can break through the defense line of the Great Wall in one fell swoop and directly occupy Beiping? The thought of completely occupying the whole province of Rehe in one week with three divisions.

If two more divisions attack the defense line of the Great Wall, thus forming a trend of looking at the Central Plains, it will establish a greater feat than occupying the entire northeast. Wu Teng Xinyi's heart was really hot.

He immediately ordered the 6th and 8th Divisions of the Kwantung Army, the 14th and 33rd Brigades of the Mixed Army, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the Aviation Corps, and the Navy with a total of more than 80,000 men and more than 30,000 puppet troops.

At this time, because of the rapid fall of Rehe Province in the Republic of China, ** once again pushed the Nationalist Government to the cusp of the wind, and now the strong enemy has invaded, the northern provinces have fallen, and the Japanese army is pointing at the Pingjin area, but the Nationalist Government is still busy suppressing bandits in the south.

It is estimated that the bandits have not been exterminated yet, and China has let Japan destroy the country. All of a sudden, the whole country was indignant, and almost all the provincial and municipal governments were surrounded by petitioners who vigorously demanded active resistance against Japan.

Many radical patriotic youths even took a drastic march to demand that the government send troops to actively resist Japan. The generals in the army in various places also wrote letters in blood, and tens of thousands of people wrote letters asking to go to war.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Commander Chiang first removed Zhang Xueliang from the post of commander-in-chief of the defense of the northeast region as soon as possible, and then appointed He Yingqin to personally go to Beiping to serve as the commander-in-chief, and was fully responsible for commanding the Great Wall anti-Japanese war operation.

At the same time, the Nationalist Government immediately withdrew elite soldiers and strong generals to strengthen precautions at various passes of the Great Wall, among which the generals of the Northwest Army, Song Zheyuan, Feng Zhi'an, Zhang Zizhong, and Liu Ruming were the most famous fierce generals in the Northwest Army, and they all received orders to reinforce the Great Wall passes at the first time.

Xu Tingyao, Guan Linzheng, Huang Jie, Liu Huan, etc., most of them are high-achieving students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and they are also the most capable generals in the Central Army of Commander Jiang's lineage, and they are also ordered to lead the troops into various passes of the Great Wall.

As for the other generals Wang Yizhe and He Zhuguo, although Wan Fulin are all generals of the Northeast Army whose reputation has been rotten, they are actually the real fighting backbone of the Northeast Army.

Especially Wang Yizhe was originally the brigade commander of the Seventh Brigade stationed in the Beida Battalion, he heard that Zhang Shaoshuai's order was lost to the Beida Battalion without firing a shot, and he had the heart to die.

It's a pity that in the previous battles, Zhang Shaoshuai never gave them a chance to perform, and Zhang Shaoshuai always put his most capable troops at the rear.

As a result, every time a big rout was formed before the battle started, resulting in the above tiger generals of the Northeast Army having no chance to exert their strength.

Now, because of the unanimous demand of the whole country to resist the war, and at the same time, Commander Chiang also knew that the defense line of the Great Wall could not be lost, otherwise the Japanese army would drive straight in, and his Nationalist government would be finished.

Therefore, Commander Chiang carefully selected these tiger generals who could fight well, and held on to the main transportation routes such as Yiyuankou, Lengkou, Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Luowenyu, and Jielingkou, and he believed that with the strength of these tiger generals, they would definitely be able to resist the attack of more than 100,000 Japanese troops.

At the same time, Commander Chiang again mobilized the troops near Pingjin and began to move closer to the Great Wall defense line, and dug trenches and repaired pillboxes in the Pingjin area, preparing to arrange a second line of defense into the Pingjin area.

And just when Commander Chiang was still dispatching troops to prepare to meet the Japanese attack, General Wu Teng Nobuyoshi, who was full of ambition in the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was sitting in his office while smoking the high-grade cigars produced by the Huaxing Company, while drinking the special red wine produced by the Huaxing Red Wine Factory, and reading the latest military intelligence report with great taste.

Just when General Wuteng Nobuyoshi was still dreaming of attacking the Great Wall and occupying Pingjin, a Dazuo from the General Staff suddenly walked into the office, and this Dazuo, who was in charge of intelligence work, sent a secret report from Major General Dohihara.

Part of this secret report was an urgent report sent back by the spy personnel lurking around Commander Chiang, and the content of the urgent report was the detailed distribution of troops and the list of generals sent by Commander Chiang this time.

In the secret report, there are also Tu Feiyuan's comments on the above Chinese generals, Tu Feiyuan has a high evaluation of the above generals, and Tu Feiyuan directly told Commander-in-Chief Wu Teng Xinyi in the telegram that these people are the fierce generals of the squadron, in order to reduce the losses of the Japanese army, it is recommended to avoid the defense area of a few people when attacking, and break through from other weak generals.

As a result, Wu Teng Xinyi looked at the secret report in his hand and didn't care too much. The staff officer next to him asked for instructions on the next specific action.

Wu Teng Xinyi said very easily: "In the face of all strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless. Although I had just arrived in China, I had been commander-in-chief of Manchukuo for less than a year.

However, I also have my own views on the combat strength of the squadron, and I have to admit that the 19th Route Army, which fought against our Japanese in Shanghai last year, is the most capable unit in China.

You see, the information you gave me before all showed that China's strongest army was the Northeast Army, but in fact? I don't need to tell you how weak this Northeast Army is, right?

Two years ago, we defeated 300,000 of them with 20,000 men, and in the current war in Rehe Province, although I am using 100,000 against 250,000, I actually use less than 20,000 troops.

The result? The 250,000 Northeast Army was defeated again, and in a few days we fully occupied Rehe Province, especially Chengde City, the provincial capital of Rehe Province, with only 128 cavalry.

This is the second time that the Japanese Empire has occupied a provincial capital city with cavalry, the first time was that a brigade of cavalry occupied Changchun the year before, and now it is even more painful, and a squadron of cavalry has occupied Chengde.

Now I still have a cavalry wing of nearly 3,000 people, and I still plan to use this cavalry wing to occupy Beiping? Moreover, now that we have occupied Rehe, Ma Zhanshan in Heilongjiang will no longer be able to get supplies from the Guannei, and when we occupy Shanhaiguan, we will have the geographical advantage of moving south to occupy the whole of China at any time.

When the time comes, we will clean up Ma Zhanshan with our backhand. Once we have taken control of the entire territory of the four northern provinces, we will be ready to attack the Central Plains of China at any time. ”

"Your Excellency, General Tu Feiyuan has been in China for nearly ten years, and he is definitely an authentic Chinese expert. I think we should still pay attention to his suggestions.

You see, he specifically pointed out the history of these dozen generals, and also pointed out the detailed biographies of these generals. It also pointed out that we should be careful to guard against Li Tie of Huaxing, especially the sneak attack of the base-local organization. We should not underestimate the enemy. Dazuo sincerely persuaded.

"It's because I have the resumes of these people that I'm more at ease, you see, what kind of troops are these people? One-third is the Northwest Army, one-third is the Central Army, and one-third is the worst Northeast Army.

They Chinese don't know? Would you rather face a god-like opponent than have a teammate like a pig? Just because there are so many Northeast Army defending this Great Wall defense line, I dare to attack this Great Wall defense line head-on.

As for Li Tie of Huaxing, have you seen the cigars and red wine in my hands? These are all things that Chengde Huaxing sells tobacco and alcohol, and the soldiers did not dare to rob Huaxing when they saw that Huaxing was a German enterprise.

But he had just sabotaged our arrangement for the establishment of Manchukuo in the League of Nations, and now I was trying to trouble him, so I personally led my troops to smash his Huaxing tobacco and liquor monopoly.

I just let everyone know, don't think that if I'm wearing a foreigner's skin, I won't dare to touch him. In front of my Wu Teng Xinyi, you have to coil it for me, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down for me.

Not only did I confiscate all of Chengde Huaxing's assets, but I also put all of their employees in Chengde Prison. If he dares to come to the Northeast, I will definitely split him with my own hands. ”

Wu Teng Xinyi is now full of ambition, how can he listen to the advice of his subordinates. He ordered all the troops to rest for two days, and after three days, Qingchen launched an attack on the various passes of the Great Wall, and the commander of the unit that first entered the Great Wall was promoted to two ranks, and all the soldiers of the army were rewarded with 100 yen.

On March 5, 1933, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt officially entered the White House, and the last province in northern China, Rehe Province, was completely occupied by the Japanese army. It was the second day that Wuteng Xinyi had just smashed the Chengde Huaxing tobacco and alcohol monopoly.

On this day, as soon as Li Tie finished sending a congratulatory telegram to Roosevelt, he immediately arranged for the merchant ships that had been prepared to secretly anchor from the Huaxing Wharf in Shanghai.

When a 10,000-ton freighter slowly sailed out of Huaxing Wharf, Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion who were standing on the wharf to see them off were full of reluctance.

"Are you worried about them?" Hearing the thousand-tailed scorpion's concern, Li Tie shook his head.

"Alright. Don't be in love with children anymore, they are all people who want to be fathers. The thousand-tailed scorpion explained.

"If it weren't for the due date of Maggie, I really wanted to accompany Wang Qi and them to do a big job. You won't understand how much I want to go to war and fight the Japanese with real guns. Li Tie said in a deep voice.

"Come on, with your little body, you better stay by my side honestly. You're the only one left with Doberman. Besides, in order to help your Wang Qi and Tie Dan, I sent all of them to you, if Li Yuhong hadn't been pregnant with a second child, I would have sent her to help you, in short, you don't have to worry about Wang Qi and Tie Dan's safety.

Besides, they are only there to help, and they may not go to the battlefield in person, maybe the Great Wall defense line is the same as Rehe, and the Japanese will fall in less than a week, and then these reinforcements of yours may have to return the same way. "The thousand-tailed scorpion actually didn't agree with Li Tie sending troops north. After all, haven't the Japanese yet hit Shanghai?

"No, they will definitely be able to catch up with this big battle this time." Li Tie said affirmatively.

"Why?" The thousand-tailed scorpion asked.

"Because Wu Teng Xinyi took my cigarettes and alcohol this time but didn't give me money, I went to collect debts." Li Tie said viciously.
