540 fierce soldiers Liaoxi four surprise attack

Tang Yulin, like most of the generals of the Northeast Army, always had a somewhat unclear relationship with the Japanese, and even at the moment when China and Japan were fighting a series of wars, he still had a Japanese representative stationed in the marshal's mansion in Chengde. )

"Commander Tang, on behalf of the Commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ryokari Takashi, assure you that the Imperial Army will not enter the territory of Rehe Province again after this passage. Moreover, the remaining half of the army has now been shipped from Buxin County, and it will be handed over to General Tang Yuming tomorrow at the latest. ”

The person who was talking to him secretly in Tang Yulin's study was Matsui Shigen's younger brother Matsui Shichio. Looking at the dark and burly soldier in front of him, with a bearded face, Matsui sneered in his heart. He had served as a military adviser to Fengjun for a long time, and he had not dealt with Tang Yulin for a day or two, so he had long known that this seemingly coarse old bandit was actually as old and treacherous as Zhang Zuolin. Let the Japanese try their best to win him over, but he just refused to go into the water to be a traitor in the end. But it is absolutely impossible for him to come up with his old book to resist Japan. And Matsui Nanao also knew that Tang Yulin was also flattering to Zhang Xueliang in every possible way, except for not letting their army enter his own territory, everything else was fine. He even sent the report to Beijing three times and twice, and claimed to be a hired farmer, and definitely belonged to Miao Zhenggenhong, but it was still this Miao Zhenggenhong's commander Tang, after Matsui Qifu sent enough firearms to arm 20,000 people, and promised that the Japanese army would not be stationed in Rehe, he did not hesitate to agree to borrow the road for the Japanese army to pass......

"That's a good relationship, we will not interfere with the river water in the future, but this friend still has to do the same." Tang Yulin's dark face had a happy look.

"Commander Tang, you and our Great Japanese Empire are best friends, not a relationship between wells and rivers." Matsui smiled indifferently: "At present, General Ling is very dissatisfied with the performance of Pu Yi, the chief executive of the three eastern provinces, and hopes that a truly powerful person will come out to replace him, and you are the favorite candidate of His Excellency the General." ”

Tang Yulin hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, it is the veteran's family business in the northeast, and it should be inherited by the father of the sixth son." It is better to choose a powerful person than to choose him. My old soup is satisfied with the one-third of an acre of land in Rehe. ”

Matsui Nanao smiled and shook his head: "It's just that General Zhang Xueliang has always ignored the good intentions of the empire, and it seems that he wants to follow GCD wholeheartedly." And this GCD treats traitors very harshly. ”

Tang Yulin's dark face sank, he snorted softly from his nostrils, hugged his hands, and leaned back heavily: "I have 30,000 troops in my hands, and what they want to do to me depends on whether my army agrees or not."

Matsui clapped his hands: "Then Commander Tang, I can assure you that once you need it, our Imperial Japanese Army can rush to Chengde at any time." And afterwards promised to evacuate immediately, and never leave a single soldier in Rehe. ”

These words have reached Tang Yulin's heart, and the current Rehe has been regarded as his private property, and no one else will be allowed to touch it. And during this time, he had already faintly heard a little rumor, Zhang Xueliang and GCD had taken a fancy to Rehe and wanted to use it as a base for counterattacking the Northeast. Therefore, 20,000 of his 30,000 troops were deployed near Chengde, claiming to be anti-Japanese, but the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the back of the Northeast Army and the GCD. And this time I borrowed the road to Japan, and there was no intention of borrowing a knife to kill people.

Matsui saw Tang Yulin's face beaming, and knew that his words were in his arms, so he further induced: "Commander Tang, your 30,000 troops cannot be the opponent of the Central G and the Northeast Army, so it must be expanded, if you cooperate further with the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will expand to 100,000 people for you, and all weapons and equipment will be provided by the Imperial Army." ”

In the face of this huge temptation, Tang Yulin's Adam's apple gurgled and squirmed, and he did not hide his greed, and after a while, he was a little difficult: "I don't know...... How does the Imperial Army want to cooperate with you? We can't do anything about dealing with the six sons......"

Matsui Nanao waved his hand: "You don't need to deal with Zhang Xueliang, and you don't even need to go against the Beijing government." ”

Tang Yulin was stunned when he heard this: "Do you want Lao Tang and me to go against the Kuomintang......

Matsui Nanao smiled lightly: "It's not the Kuomintang, but the GCD traitor Wang Zhongyi who colluded with the Kuomintang, and now Wang Zhongyi's main force has left Mongolia and entered Heilongjiang eastward." As long as you are willing to send troops to the Mongols, the empire can provide you with enough weapons and equipment to arm 50,000 men"

"Okay, a word is a certainty" Tang Yulin didn't hesitate anymore, and nodded very simply. He didn't dare to deal with GCD, and he couldn't bear to deal with Zhang Xueliang, it was not a dish to clean up that GCD traitor Wang Zhongyi, maybe GCD would also look at him differently because of this.

After sending off Matsui Qifu, Tang Yulin immediately called his fifth brother Tang Yushu again, and said to him with a smile: "Old Five, hurry up and send a telegram to Beijing and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, I just received a report that an unknown number of Japanese troops took advantage of our unpreparedness to quietly cross the eastern mountains of Rehe, and now it may be close to Chaoyang County." ”

"Big brother, what kind of play are you doing?" Tang Yushu asked with a blank expression.

Tang Yulin touched his beard and smiled: "We can't do things perfectly, can we?" Besides, the GCD tiger wants to eat people, and they Japanese are good at stubble? Have you forgotten how the veteran died? Let's let the Japanese fight with GCD...... Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

……

Gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing resounded in the dark night.

The shouts of the Japanese army dragged out the sound, approaching from all sides, and the covering bullets rained down like rain, hitting the city wall of Chaoyang County, and the sound of bullets falling on the city bricks was everywhere.

Up and down the city, the smoke of gunpowder billowed and the flames were blazing.

Fang Zhimin, chief of staff of the Western Liaoning Military Region, stood at the head of Chengtou, crouched behind a battlement, and stared at the battlefield in front of him. At present, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Chaoyang has all been transferred to Beipiao to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese, and only a few thousand people remain here. Moreover, the troops were all deployed in the mountainous area facing Jinzhou, and they were always on guard against the Japanese troops confronting the Kuomintang army on the southern front. I didn't expect that these Japanese would actually put on their wings and suddenly appear in the north of Chaoyang County, if it weren't for Tang Yulin's early warning call, I am afraid that Chaoyang County has been raided and captured by the Japanese at this time. But even so, this surprise attack by the Japanese was a great success.

Fang Zhimin only has a battalion full of recruits and no artillery division in his hands, and these recruits only have basic military training, they can line up, they can release guns, and the others will not. It was absolutely impossible to let out the Japanese army to fight a field battle -- besides, this time the Japanese were menacing, and it seemed that there were always 20,000 or 30,000 men, and even if the entire Eighth Route Army was assembled here, this battle would be enough to choke a division of several thousand people

In desperation, Fang Zhimin simply stuffed these soldiers into Chaoyang County, put them on the city wall, and each person designated a position, as long as they put their guns, it was impossible to retreat, and the political commissar had already organized a team to supervise the battle to patrol around. There is no way to do this, the team composition time is too short, and the political and ideological work is not in place, so ......

The four gates of Chaoyang City were blocked by stones, and thousands of people were crammed into the city. With a posture of not going out if he was killed, Fang Zhimin also knew that he would definitely not be able to fight if he went out, and abandoning the city would put the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army in Beipiao in a desperate situation. The only feasible thing is to hold on to the death, if the devil's cannon can't be transported for a while, maybe you can hold out until the main force comes back to help, so that the task is completed

The four fields were shining with firelight, and they also reflected the waves of Japanese soldiers coming up from all sides. Before the attack, the Japanese army bombarded the city head with mortars and infantry artillery, but did not use large-caliber heavy artillery, not even 75-mm mountain artillery. It looks like it's either not carrying it, or it's still on the way. However, the situation was even worse on the part of the Liaoxi Division, where the only four heavy machine guns were placed on each of the four walls, and the rest were rifles. All the soldiers were scrambling to shoot continuously, the Japanese army was still two kilometers away, and the city was already full of smoke and a sporadic muzzle flame.

The Japanese army slowly approached in a skirmish line, and under the rain of bullets, not a single person shot. Although from time to time a few soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, their ranks were not chaotic, but only moved at a steady pace. Night battles, and there are no flares available, the hit rate of the rifle is naturally not as good as the daytime, these recruits are also shooting indiscriminately, at this distance, it is even more difficult to form enough damage to the Japanese army, and naturally can not suppress the advance of the Japanese army, their machine guns also moved up with the charging troops, a string of hot tongues of fire began to roll over the head of the city of Chaoyang, and from time to time there were soldiers who were shooting at the head of the city and fell to the ground. The terrible screams were heard one after another.

Fang Zhimin's fingers picked at the cracks in the bricks, just staring at everything in front of him, looking at the outlines of the waves of Japanese soldiers reflected by the moonlight, watching countless fiery red rays of light pass over their heads quickly, only a few were lucky enough to hit the target, but it was not enough to stop the slowly surging charging giant, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the fall of Chaoyang County was ......

At this time, the battle on the front line of Beipiao was also fierce again, and the roundabout outflanking was the operational plan designated by the Kwantung Army Command, the purpose of which was not only to seize the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, but also to completely defeat the heavy group of the Chinese GCD Army entrenched in the mountainous areas of western Liaoning and threatening the rear of the Japanese army. According to the information provided by the intelligence agencies lurking, there are about more than 100,000 GCD troops gathered in this mountainous area, and there is also the Eighth Route Army, one of the two elites of China and G. If this part of the GCD army can be severely damaged, it may force the Beijing government, which is controlled by the Chinese G, to recognize the Japanese-sponsored offices of the chief executives of the three eastern provinces. Therefore, the purpose of the previous Japanese attack was mainly to attract the main force of the Central G to the Beipiao, and to create the possibility of a successful surprise attack by the 7th and 11th Divisions. Now that this goal has been achieved, the 5th and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army deployed in front of Beipiao have naturally begun to attack with all their might, and even the 3rd Division, which had not made a move, has joined the battle group.

As time passed, the Japanese attacks became more and more intense, and the night sky was lit red by artillery fire. A fiery cannonball, dragging an orange-red tail flame, screamed across the night sky and swooped down on the positions of the G Army around Beipiao City. The roar of the shells spread far away, like bursts of muffled thunder, sweeping through the mountainous areas of western Liaoning.

The Japanese officers and soldiers, who had looked a little dull before, also returned to a state of madness, and formed a scattered line of attack with the brigade as a unit, attacking various positions outside Beipiao County.

The Japanese used artillery to open the way, infantry charged, machine guns, mortars, grenadiers, and infantry guns suppressed the opponent's fire points, and finally escorted the charging infantry all the way into the opponent's trenches. However, the resistance of the GCD was also extremely stubborn, and later on, it often evolved into a rain of grenades and fierce hand-to-hand combat, until the last defender on the position died, and the banner of the rising sun, blackened by gunpowder, could be raised.

……

Late at night on December 9, the 19th year of the Republic of China.

In the GCD former enemy headquarters located in Beipiao City, there was a cacophony of telephone-> ringtones. Outside the window, the rumbling of artillery echoed around like thunder, making the headquarters even more noisy. Staff officers at all levels shuttled back and forth, loudly transmitting all kinds of news and orders. As soon as the news of the Japanese raid on Chaoyang arrived, Zhu D sat at the map table in the headquarters and listened to the progress of the front-line war constantly reported by the staff officers, but most of them were not good news.

The news of Chaoyang County was completely lost around 11 o'clock in the evening, and it was always bad luck. According to the report of the division left behind in Chaoyang County, they were besieged by at least 20,000 Japanese troops, that is, the Japanese army used at least one division to carry out this roundabout outflanking. Now most of Chaoyang County has been captured by them, and the rear roads of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army have been cut off

And the situation of these two route armies is also very bad now, at least three divisions of the Japanese army, under the cover of superior firepower, launched a fierce attack on the various defensive positions on the periphery of the North Ticket, and the troops who were stuck there were simply out of breath, and after every telephone-> bell, a staff officer would shout loudly, and the news of requesting reinforcements seemed that the Japanese army had not done its best to attack the previous few days, and they were just attracting the main force of the Central G to reinforce the North Ticket, creating conditions for the success of the roundabout outflanking......

"Mr. Zhu." Cai Tingkai, chief of staff of the Seventeenth Route Army, walked up to Zhu D with a solemn face, holding a stack of telegrams he had just received: "The joint command in Huludao sent us two alternative plans. The first plan was to abandon all baggage and heavy weapons and resolutely retreat to the northwest, and then retreat to the area of Aohanqi and Xinhui County in Rehe to rest and recuperate. The second plan is to let us shrink and defend and use the mountains around Beipiao County to hold on and wait for reinforcements. The Kuomintang will send an integrated division to relieve us of the siege together with the Fifth Route Army of the Northeast Army, and Luo Yaoguo promises to relieve us within seven days. But these seven days...... They want to know if we can be sure that we will hold on for seven days. ”

Hearing that the Kuomintang was coming to relieve him, Zhu D's thick eyebrows raised slightly, and a look of surprise flashed on his face. This thing is really a bit ridiculous, the main strategic force of GCD was surrounded by Japan, and the Kuomintang army patted its chest and promised to break the siege, how does it sound like a lie? But looking back, didn't they always have to retreat or jump north to the outside line before? It is only that the central authorities blindly demand the defense of the base areas in western Liaoning...... Did you misunderstand the Kuomintang reactionaries? Maybe they're not so reactionary? Thinking of this, Zhu D made some self-criticism in his heart, and he couldn't have illusions about the enemy. He sighed softly: "How are the troops now?" Can it be folded up? ”

Cai Tingkai shook his head: "Now the Japanese army is attacking fiercely, and there is an emergency everywhere, if you want to withdraw...... I'm afraid it's going to turn into a rout. And the situation in the north is not clear, how did these Japanese troops come under Tang Yulin's nose? ”

Zhu D was stunned when he heard this, and the cold sweat in his vest had already flowed into one after another. If you want to withdraw, it would be a miracle that the 100,000 troops here could withdraw 70,000, and all heavy weapons and baggage would have to be abandoned...... And will the Japanese have other armies waiting for them in Rehe? Wouldn't that make your death even more unclear? It's better to stay in the North Ticket

"Chief of Staff Cai, and Luo Yaoguo are both from the Guangdong Army, is he reliable?" Zhu D's tone was calm, as if he was talking to a friend and inadvertently chatting about another friend.

Cai Tingkai was stunned, although he and Luo Yaoguo were both from the Guangdong department, they were not very familiar with each other, he was from the first division of Guangdong, and Luo Yaoguo was strictly from the first line of Xu Chongzhi's East Route Army. But when it comes to reputation, Luo Yaoguo is indeed good, at least much stronger than Deng Yanda. If it was something else, Luo Yaoguo patted his chest, there should be no problem, but the matter of relieving the siege of the main force of GCD seems to be related to the future and fate of China and the fundamental interests of the two camps......

"Boss, this matter is very important, should we report it to the central government? Could you please ask the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Revolution to give an idea? ”

Zhu D waved his hand heavily: "Our former enemy must come up with reference opinions, and we can't push everything to the central government, otherwise what else do we want our people to do?" He stood up and came out with the idea he had just calculated: "Most of the divisions that copied our rear road are also lightly armed, there should be no heavy artillery, and the road to the north is not easy to walk, and it is impossible to pull heavy artillery at all." Now we have been cut off by the Japanese army, but the Japanese division that cut off our back road is not smooth for itself. Naturally, the north cannot be walked, and the road leading to Jinzhou in the south has also been blocked by us with mines, and our guerrilla activities have not been able to get through at all in a few days. Therefore, this division is actually similar to a lone army, and Luo Yaoguo should not let go of the opportunity to eat it. ”
