A staff officer of the command of the 37th Group Army of Chahar hurriedly came to report: "Chief Su, the intelligence station left in Beiping reports that the Japanese have begun to attack the Lugou Bridge!" ”

Su Tong closed his bloodshot eyes slightly, and muttered, "It's finally here!" This magnificent scene that is destined to leave a strong mark in the history books is still staged. ”

"Order, prepare the car, go to the broadcasting building, I want to speak to the people of the whole country!" After speaking, Su Tong took the lead and walked out.

Today's broadcasting building is still as busy as ever, and Yang Siyu is also sitting in the radio room broadcasting news for listeners. Suddenly, the door to the radio room opened, and a young man who looked young walked in, but the young man who usually wore a faint smile obviously didn't seem to be in a good mood today.

This *** family has been seen many times in the newspaper and is familiar with it. He is General Su Tong, the highest military and political governor of Chahar. I saw him walking straight towards the broadcast room where Yang Siyu was under the leadership of the director of the radio station.

The director diligently pushed open the soundproof glass door, walked to Yang Siyu's side and ordered: "Xiao Yang, you stop broadcasting first, Chairman Su wants to speak." You prepare it on the side. ”

Yang Siyu, who was concentrating on reading the news, raised her head in a daze, and suddenly saw someone who she only saw in the newspaper standing in front of her, and she was stunned for a while.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you help? The director said eagerly.

"Oh, okay!" Yang Siyu came to the side and began to stand up in a hurry, Su Tong smiled at this girl who looked as innocent as the girl next door, and sat down.

At this time, Yang Siyu bent down and said into the microphone: "Listeners and friends, I am your old friend Yang Siyu, this station wants to suspend our news broadcast, because our governor of Chahar and the commander of the 37th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, General Su Tong, has something important to talk to you!" ”

At this time, countless people who had just gotten up early and were sitting in front of the radio heard Yang Siyu's voice, and their hearts couldn't help but sink, could it be that something big had happened?

Su Tong sat down slowly, and was stunned for a while into the microphone before he said slowly: "Listeners, I am Su Tong, chairman of the Chahar Provincial Government, and today I want to tell you a shocking news, today, that is, on July 7, the 26th year of the Republic of China, just this morning, the Japanese North China garrison has launched an attack on Beiping. ”

What the? Are the Japanese going to attack us again? The people sitting in front of the radio were stunned.

"This is a signal that the Japanese intend to enslave our Chinese people and occupy our Chinese land in an all-round way. Six years ago, the Japanese occupied the three eastern provinces, and that time they succeeded. But their appetite will never be satisfied, this time they are determined to completely wipe out our troubled country and nation from the world, compatriots, fathers and villagers, you say, can we agree? ”

With Su Tong's roar, countless compatriots sitting in front of the radio let out a roar in unison: "You must not agree!" ”

"The Japanese have already occupied the three eastern provinces, do they still want to occupy all of China?" Everyone was angry, the Japanese were really bullying people too much.

"Compatriots, fathers and fellow villagers, as soon as the war begins, there is no distinction between north and south, young and old, and everyone has the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. It's time to declare war! Now, on behalf of the Chahar government, I declare that if the Japanese do not withdraw from our territory, the Chahar government's war of resistance will not stop for a day! I believe that our ancient nation will overcome all evils and let our nation stand again in the forest of the world. The final victory must belong to us, long live the Chinese nation! Long live the War of Resistance! ”

Su Tong's speech was transmitted to the whole of China and to the world with the radio waves in the air.

"Niang Xipi, this Su Jianming, he is really playing the piano, he has no consent from the central government, what right does he have to declare war on a country, where does this put the central government!" The chairman of the committee in a rage began to scold his mother again.

A group of staff and senior officials below did not dare to make a noise, and after scolding the chairman, they turned around and asked, "How is it in Beiping now?" ”

Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, replied: "Now that Song Zheyuan has ordered the soldiers to stay in the barracks, he still thinks that the Japanese are just trying to reap the benefits and are still looking for a peaceful solution!" ”

"Ridiculous! It's all on this, he, Song Zheyuan, is still so naïve! Chen Guofu, the Minister of Education on the side, sighed and said hatefully.

He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, said worriedly: "If the situation continues like this, without the support of reinforcements, Beiping will be lost!" ”

"Isn't there Su Tong next to the 29th Army? Wouldn't it be okay for him to gallop to help Beiping! This is Chen Bui's voice.

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, this Chen Bui is really naïve, the day before yesterday, the chairman just ordered that the Chahar government should not cross the line, how could Su Tong be allowed to send troops now? Isn't that a slap in the face? Chairman Chiang would rather cede Beiping to the Japanese than lose such a big ugly face.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Chairman Jiang's face darkened, and he said with a stretched face: "There is no need to discuss this issue anymore, he, Song Zheyuan, is the chairman of the Supervisory Committee of Beiping City, and he is also the highest military governor of Beiping. ”

Seeing that the boss was angry, everyone was silent and didn't dare to speak out.

After being silent for a long time, Chairman Jiang sighed, "Let's take a look at the situation first!" ”

Just when the whole country was shocked, the gunfire in the direction of Lugou Bridge became more and more dense and tense, and the number of Japanese attackers increased from one brigade to one wing. The three battalions led by Ji Xingwen suffered heavy casualties, and a full infantry battalion of more than 300 people fought by noon with less than 100 people left.

In the afternoon, Song Zheyuan finally ordered the second battalion to go to the Lugou Bridge to withdraw the disabled third battalion. On the one hand, it was ordered that "the Lugou Bridge, that is, the tomb of Er, should live and die with the bridge, and must not retreat." On the other hand, they sent people to negotiate with the Japanese army, and ordered most of the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army to stay in the barracks and not go out.

During this period, Su Tong sent another telegram asking if he needed the Chahar government to send troops to help, but he refused. This also allowed Su Tong to see how important the warlords around the world valued their respective territories in this era.

"Bastard, the devils have hit the doorstep, and he Song Zheyuan still refuses to let our troops reinforce him, what does he want to do?." The angry Chief Su paced back and forth in the office angrily.

"He doesn't want to do anything, he just thinks that the Japanese are just here to fight the autumn breeze, and Chahar is the one who is really ambitious about his territory." Jiang Baili on the side said quietly.

"Bastard, leave him alone, we directly order the troops to reinforce Beiping." Su Tong gritted his teeth and was about to pick up the phone on the table.

Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by a pair of big hands, and when he looked up, it turned out that Jiang Baili suppressed the phone, "Jianming can't!" Jiang Baili said solemnly: "If you send troops over now, it will be just the right thing to do, and then Song Zheyuan will say that we are sending troops to Beiping in order to seize territory, and the central government will also take the opportunity to splash sewage on our heads." In the end, we can only be thankless, and the people may not understand us, they will only say that we are grabbing territory under the banner of reinforcing Beiping. ”

"Well, what the fuck is this called? Is this what politics is called? "I didn't expect that a simple reinforcement would lead to so many consequences.

"I'm afraid the Japanese even expected this, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to attack Beiping City so swaggeringly. Otherwise, is he really a vegetarian in our army? Su Tong's face became more and more gloomy.

"Since Beiping can't be reinforced, then I'll take Rehe down first. Let's hit yours, I'll hit mine! Su Tong punched the table.

Wu Jilong's 2nd Armored Division of Chahar Xindian, the 102nd Division of Hu Lian of Longmen and Wang Dayong's 5th Division arrived at the same time as their long-awaited telegram, the content of which was very simple, just one sentence: "Attack Rehe!" ”

"Wang Qinglong? The command ordered, the offensive begins! ”

"Boom, boom, boom" An order, the heavy artillery of the Fourth Artillery Division under the command of Wang Qinglong, which was arranged on the front line of Longmen Station, aimed at the town of Dage, which had been marked long ago, and began to bombard.

Guarding the town of Oko was the 67th Wing of the Japanese Army, which belonged to the 27th Division of the North China Zhutun Army, and the commander of the wing, Ichiro Imai, was desperate to find that the position he had painstakingly built had all collapsed in the half-hour bombardment.

"Boom ......"

A succession of shells fell into the positions that the Japanese army had spent half a year building, and the explosion was fierce. The shock wave blasted the ruins, mud and smoke of the originally sturdy trenches, along with the fragments of steel, which harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers in the trenches. The shock wave shattered the internal organs of the Japanese soldiers at close range, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and thick smoke and dust, and the Japanese soldiers who had been driven back by the officers were choked and coughed loudly.

The soldiers had already been frightened by the heavy shelling they had never suffered before. They huddled in the trenches with their heads in their hands, trembling, coughing, crying, and screaming with all their might, as if that would make them roar out of fear.

The whole earth trembled violently, and the falling dust and fragments of limbs made the soldiers scream in terror, and at this moment the fanatical Japanese soldiers could no longer be found, and fear had taken over their whole body and mind
