Su Tong looked at the convoy in the distance, and looked back at the Provincial Political Axe Building, from now on, Chahar will be in a state of no political axe. Since you don't let me develop in a low-key manner, then I'll make a gorgeous appearance!

July 1, the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935).

Su Tong telegraphed to the whole country and officially took over the defense of the entire territory of Chahar, and at the same time, the Duolun militia was officially renamed the Black Tiger Army, and Su Tong appointed himself as the commander-in-chief. As soon as the power came out, the whole country was shocked. He said that he protested against the Kuomintang's sabotage of the "Qin-Tu Agreement" and dispatched armed forces to occupy Zhangjiakou without authorization. The National Political Axe also refused to show weakness, calling the Black Tiger Army a local armed force, an armed group spontaneously organized by the local people, and had nothing to do with the National Political Axe.

Umezu Mijiro, commander of the North China Garrison Army, immediately telegraphed to the Black Tiger Army that he would immediately lay down his arms and surrender to the North China Garrison Army, otherwise the Imperial Army would not mind destroying the Black Tiger Army. To this, Su Tong's answer was "Surrender? Never! ”

Umezu Mijiro was furious after receiving the Black Tiger Army's answer. On 10 July, Umezu Yoshijiro ordered the 79th Brigade to advance from Chengde along the direction of the Great Wall to Zhangjiakou. The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, after more than a month of intense conscription work, the Black Tiger Army had recruited more than 20,000 new recruits, and the unit had been expanded into six infantry regiments, three artillery regiments, and two air defense regiments, with a total strength of more than 25,000 troops.

At this moment, Su Tong was sitting in the headquarters of the Zhangjiakou Provincial Political Axe and received a group of special guests. Wang Dongzhi and Leng Yuan really lived up to their expectations, and even coaxed and deceived Su Tong to bring in thirty-six pilots. Among them, there is a "big man" that Su Tong could never dream of, he is Gao Zhihang, who was later known as the head of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Huaxia Air Force.

At this time, Gao Zhihang, who was only 28 years old at this time, had just returned from Italy, and during the time he was inspecting the aircraft in Italy, his superb flying skills even amazed the Italian leader Mussolini, saying that such skills were among the best in Italy. He had just returned to China in May, and was approached by Leng Yuan, his disciple of the Northeast Aviation School, one morning. Inviting him to join the Black Tiger Army, Gao Zhihang was already preparing to take the position of deputy head of the Central Teaching Corps at this time, how could he be willing to join a little-known local militia group. Fortunately, at this time, his statement helped the Black Tiger Army, and Leng Yuan's ability to fool under Su Tong's influence was greatly improved. Leng Yuan talked about the international situation to the national crisis, and then talked about the tragic situation of the people after the invasion and occupation of Chahar, which fooled Gao Zhihang into a daze. Under Leng Yuan's stubborn fighting, Gao Zhihang finally reluctantly agreed to go to Chahar to have a look, so Leng Yuan brought Gao Zhihang and a group of pilots who were abducted by the pit to Chahar. Coincidentally, Wang Zhidong also just brought more than a dozen alumni of the former Northeast Aviation School from Xi'an to arrive together.

Su Tong watched the movie "Gao Zhihang" in his previous life, and was deeply moved by his iron bones, but now that the real person is standing in front of him, the excitement in his heart is indescribable. Su Tong's first words when he saw Gao Zhihang were "Brother Ziheng, go, I'll take you to see the plane" Su Tong grabbed Gao Zhihang's hand and couldn't help but take a group of people to the newly built airport.

I saw that the airport was full of people, a group of ground staff were busy, and rows of brand-new silver-white war eagles were placed on the runway of the airport. Gao Zhihang ran to the side of a plane and stroked happily, as if he was touching his most beloved lover. "This is the latest monoplane." ”

"Yes, this is the latest aircraft developed by the United States, the model is P26" I don't know when, Su Tong came to Gao Zhihang's side. "From now on, these planes will be yours."

Su Tong took Gao Zhihang's hand and looked at Gao Zhihang's eyes and said emotionally: "Brother Ziheng, I handed over these planes, these pilots, and the sky of our Chahar to you."

Looking at his sincere eyes, Gao Zhihang's handsome face was full of solemnity, and he raised his hand to Su Tong without nonsense and saluted with a military salute. Su Tong knew that this was a hot-blooded man's promise, and with this promise, as long as his heart was still beating, Yu Kou's plane would not be able to wreak havoc in the sky of Chahar freely.

Back at the headquarters, Su Tong immediately convened a meeting of officers above the regimental level. After the expansion of the army, the Black Tiger Army seriously lacked officers, especially junior officers, for this reason, Su Tong dug walls everywhere in the world. Whether it is the Jin Army, the Northeast Army, or the Central Army, as long as they are willing to come, Su Tong will accept it. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. Su Tong finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Now the establishment of the Black Tiger Army is as follows:

Commander of the First Infantry Regiment: Wang Dayong, Commander of the Second Regiment: Chen Dazhu, Commander of the Third Regiment: Huang Hao, Commander of the Fourth Regiment: Zeng Anli (from the former Northeast Army), Commander of the Fifth Regiment: Wang Li (from the Jin Suijun), Commander of the Sixth Regiment: Zhao Weihui (from the former Sichuan Army)

The commanders of the three artillery regiments were: Wang Yingjie, Li Hai, and Li Fei

Commander of the Air Defense Regiment: Fan Jie, Hong Biao (former from the Northwest Army)

Originally, the atmosphere in the conference room was very tense, the 79th Brigade of the Mixed Brigade of the Reading Force of the Yue Army was advancing along the Great Wall towards Zhangjiakou, the Black Tiger Army had no experience in large-scale combat with the Yue Army since its establishment, and the officers who were sitting on the orders outside the army were a little nervous.

Su Tong looked at everyone, smiled and said: "Everyone knows the current situation, the army is pressing step by step, and our army has no way to retreat." Do you think you should do it? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Dazhu stood up and said, "Tuanza. Ah no commander-in-chief, we will fight as you say. We all listen to you. ”

Su Tong sighed in his heart, thinking that the officers here were still qualified to be a battalion commander and regiment commander, but if he took a step further, he would not be able to do anything.

Even Su Tong himself is a second knife, and now he is going to go up.

"Now I order," with a bang, all the officers stood up, "the second and third regiments will go to the monolith to be armed, and the fifth and sixth regiments will go to the Longmen Institute to be armed." The 1st and 6th regiments were on standby in Zhangjiakou. ”

"Yes," an officer took the order and left.

After the meeting, Su Tong announced the establishment of the Black Tiger Army Aviation Brigade and appointed Gao Zhihang as the captain. At this point, the war was on the verge of breaking out.

The 79th Brigade is a mixed brigade with two wings, namely the 77th and 78th Wings, and an artillery wing.

Saburo Endo is a standard old-style soldier who admires bayonet fighting and personal bravery, and dismisses anything other than rifles and cannons (such as airplanes). Therefore, the combat effectiveness of his reading power and mixed 79th Brigade is also second to none.

July 13 at 5 p.m

Kenta Nakano, the captain of the 77th Wing who served as the vanguard, had already fought with the Black Tiger Army at the Dragon Gate.
