July 22, 1937

As soon as the gate of Beiping City was opened on this day, the guards guarding the gate found that the people who went out of the city this time were no longer those ordinary people who had gone out of the city a few days ago. There are actually a lot of literati in it, if you want to ask how these guards will know, you can just look at these people who all wear glasses, and there are a few people in Sijiu City who don't know these scholars, this is a person who even Commander Song has to respect for three points.

Although most of these people are dressed in disguise, the most important thing as a guard is this eyesight, and the guard hurriedly reported to the captain, all the way to Song Zheyuan.

Song Zheyuan looked at the reported information, and then asked people to inquire about various universities, and sure enough, all well-known scholars were suddenly on sick leave, and not only scholars, but also a large number of students disappeared for no reason.

Song Zheyuan sighed, "Gone, all gone, alas-these people, as soon as they see the battle, they will leave." Song Zheyuan still thought that these people were just temporarily going to the countryside for refuge.

Zhang Yueting next to him said, "Since ancient times, small chaos into the city, big chaos into the countryside, this is normal, these literati, usually like to call, really start the fight is not to ask us big soldiers to come forward." ”

Song Zheyuan shook his head and said, "So we must solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know what the chaos will be in the whole of Hebei." ”

The professors and students on the other side gathered in Changxindian, and Ji Xingwen here had received a secret order, and he didn't see these people, only to see the young people among these people chattering as if they were participating in a spring outing, and some professors also looked at the beautiful scenery and sighed constantly, and from time to time they also wrote two poems.

Xiang Jun, a member of the Red Party Special Branch who was watching them not far away, sighed, "This is too unorganized, isn't it, transport all these people to Yan'an?" It's not a good way for us to go. ”

A strong man next to him touched the gun in his arms and said, "This is the highest order of the Party Central Committee, and we must complete the task even if we die." And it said that let's go to Baoding until the end of July, and then there will be an army to help us.

Xiang Jun pointed to the guide and said, "There are comrades not far in front who have prepared food and water, let's rest for a while and then go on the road, so that these Wenqu stars can all use ropes to catch each other." Be careful of falling behind, if someone falls behind, let them go to Baoding to find a big team. ”

-- Yan'an

After more than 10 days of verbal warfare in Lushan, the preliminary reorganization plan for the Red Army decided by the White Party was determined to be three divisions, which was very different from the five divisions that were determined at the earliest, but for the sake of the overall situation of resistance against Japan, the Red Party was unwilling to continue to entangle. However, the White Party demanded that the management and education of the three divisions must be directly subordinate to the National Central Committee; The chiefs of staff of the 3 divisions were sent from Nanjing.

The Red Party's plan of response was to immediately reorganize the three fronts into three divisions. Each division has a full strength of 15,000 men, and all units except the Central Guard Regiment are integrated into three divisions, and at the same time, the cadres are strengthened so that the troops can be immediately operational, and finally become a given fact.

The countries of the world in the League of Nations, which Chiang had been looking forward to, also expressed concern about the situation in China, but out of the consideration of the own interests of the great powers, most of them only expressed strong concern, and only the Soviet newspaper "Izvestia" pointed out that the "July 7 Incident" was the beginning of the second stage of the conquest of China by Japanese imperialism after a long and thorough preparation.

This greatly disappointed Chiang, who was preparing for war. At the same time, he firmly established his idea that he must fight a big war in a place with international influence, and all kinds of military supplies were gradually transferred to Shanghai.

On 23 July, the staff officer of the Japanese Chinese garrison in Tuntun and Zhiying II reported to Sugiyama Motoriku Minister: "Our officers and men on the front line are murderous and noisy, accusing the headquarters of being weak. …… Don't stick to the policy of not expanding. Now the time has come to turn the situation around."

Sugiyama explained that although it is necessary to avoid an incident as big as a full-scale war, it is necessary to resolutely fight back based on the facts and circumstances.

This was followed by the opening of the 71st Diet of Japan. Focusing on the so-called "North China Incident," Japan adopted 33 proposals, which enabled Japan to begin its transition from a quasi-wartime system to a wartime system in the political, economic, and military fields. The meeting ended on 7 August. The meeting increased the temporary military expenditure by more than 500 million yen.

Since then, only 5 divisions have been left in the Japanese army, and the rest are on standby to prepare for battle.

At the same time, a large number of Japanese expatriates began to return to China. Looking at the ships full of Japanese expatriates, even the dock workers knew that a big war was about to come.

Zhang Zizhong, who watched a large number of Japanese overseas Chinese leave in Tianjin, felt strongly uneasy. He visited Xiangyue on the issue of Japan's withdrawal of troops, but Xiangyue was ill. Zhang Zizhong looked at the heavily guarded Japanese headquarters, his fists were about to pinch blood, and he was angry and angry in his heart, and he actually fell ill like this. Song Zheyuan was worried about the general's body after knowing it, so he asked him to go to Beiping for treatment, but this trip made Zhang Zizhong bear a lifetime of infamy.

July 25, 1937

After two weeks of desperate preparations, the Japanese army finally transported all the troops, ammunition and weapons in place. Kazuki Kiyoji looked at the military map, which clearly marked the deployment of the 29th Army in detail to the arrangement of each company, and the Japanese army on the map is no longer only an encirclement posture in early July, but the strategic situation of insufficient troops, and the current strategic map of the Japanese army has twice as much combat strength as the 29th Army.

Kazuki Kiyoji nodded and said, "Order the troops, prepare to attack, and cut off the traffic in Beiping first!" ”

The night of July 25

Langfang, here is the halfway point between Tianjin and Beiping Railway, where the historical Eight-Nation Coalition Army was blocked by the Boxers, and now it is the 226th Regiment of the 113th Brigade of the 38th Division stationed here. The whole regiment was stationed along the railway line.

Today, Langfang is not only home to Chinese troops, but also a Japanese unit. But it was the main force of the 77th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, and the captain of the brigade, Deng Gaozhi, secretly looked down on a high ground, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. I only saw that there was not even a decent permanent fortification on the entire Chinese position, but it was just some simple fortifications such as sandbags, horse rejection, barbed wire, and it was full of loopholes, and such fortifications meant that the troops here were not ready for battle at all, and Chang Dengtaka couldn't understand this, two weeks have passed since the Japanese incident, how can the troops here still be the same as in peacetime.

In fact, it was very simple, in order not to give the Japanese an excuse, Song Zheyuan ordered all troops not to make any preparations for war and fortifications.

Chang Deng Gaozhi smiled secretly. With a plan, he gave an order to the squadron leader next to him, Takuya Hanazawa.

I only saw that Takuto Hanazawa also took a squadron to the station with a swaggering truck, and the people on the side of the road were no longer surprised to see it, and now the Japanese army in Hebei except for some places where the 29th Army is stationed, it has been like a no-man's land, and you can enter if you want to, and you can go out if you want to.

At this time, stationed at Langfang Station was the second battalion of the 226th Regiment.

Yan Basi's original name was Yan Bashi, because he was born at eight o'clock, his parents gave him this name, and now he is also a company commander. I think I'm already glorifying my ancestors. I feel that I should have a name to get a shot, but I don't want to turn my back on the name given by my parents who worked hard to raise me, so I take such a homonym.

Yan Basi was originally from the Northeast Army, and after withdrawing from Guanwai, he was incorporated into the 29th Army.

Yan Basi waved his hand to signal the Mark Core beside him to prepare for battle, and stood in front and shouted loudly, "The front is Langfang Station, according to the agreement between our two armies." Your army is not allowed to enter, don't you know what is going on with your army? ”

Takuya Hanazawa waved his hand, and the soldiers on the military vehicle got out of the car together, only to see the battle formation spread out as fast as possible. Several military vehicles were set up with crooked handles.

Takuya Hanazawa said with a smile, "The wires of our imperial army passed through your station, and now they are suddenly broken, and we suspect that there are anti-Japanese elements, so we want to enter the station to search and repair them." ”

Yan Basi looked at a few crooked handles against him. Where is this to be repaired, it is simply to occupy the station.

Yan Basi suddenly thought of Wanping City more than ten days ago, and he immediately said, "I'm sorry. We will help you fix it, please leave, the province will cause misunderstanding. ”

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and neither of them gave in half a step.

Takuya Hanazawa suddenly bowed and said, "Then please." ”

Yan Basi exhaled and finally coped with it.

Yan Basi stared closely at Hua Ze Takuya and retreated to the military vehicle, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, why didn't those soldiers get into the car, and he shouted smartly, "They are cheating." ”

The Japanese army had already fired a lot of gunfire, and at once knocked several machine gunners and Yan Basi at the intersection to the ground, and several of them were actually fatal with one shot.

Takuya Hanazawa hid behind a military vehicle and shouted, "Shoot!!" ”

Chang Deng Gaozhi, who was hanging behind, heard the voice of the 38 big cover, and said excitedly, "Hua Zejun has already succeeded, and the whole army is attacking." ”

The 226 regiment was not slow to react, and Xi Xincai, the commander of the 226 regiment at the station, heard the voice of the 38 big cover and shouted, "I know, I know, the military seat is unwise!" ”

The second battalion commander next to him hurriedly said, "What should we do?" ”

Xi Xincai roared angrily, "What should I do? Beat!! We are all from the northeast, and we have all escaped once, should we flee again? Now listening to the voice, the devil doesn't even have a heavy artillery, what are we afraid of? Order one battalion not to move, three battalions press over from the east and swallow them for me!! ”

I have to say that the 29th Army, which fought the Great Wall War of Resistance, was very aggressive, because several division commanders were tiger generals, and the troops were all from the northeast and northwest. Whatever the case, their first instinct is often to fight back.

As mentioned earlier, the light weapons and equipment of the 29th Army are actually very good, but this 226th Regiment only has 4 82 mortars because it is stationed in Langfang, which is not very important (God knows why the 29th Army thinks this transportation hub is not important).

However, the attacking Japanese army even had a mortar, and because it was a sneak attack, there were only heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and they were suppressed by the 226th Regiment at once, and the sky was already dark at this time.

Chang Dengtaka Zhi looked at the sky and shouted to the signal soldier, "Report to the Wing Commander, request tactical guidance"

At this time, the captain of the 77th Wing, Se Jiutai, who was waiting outside the town of Dongmaquan, received a telegram and said excitedly to Fujiwara Suto next to him, "Order the chariot squadron to be the vanguard, immediately break through the town position, and intersperse with Langfang to cooperate with the Changden Brigade to take Langfang for His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Fujiwara Suto saluted and said, "Promise to complete the mission." ”

Chang Deng Gaozhi said to the signal corps: "Commander of the power generation division, please ask for tactical guidance from the aviation force. ”

Guarding the town of Dongmaquan was a security brigade, which was also one of the agreements between Song Zheyuan and the Japanese, and all the guards of non-key traffic arteries were replaced by second-line troops.

The captain of the security brigade looked at Langfang worriedly, and the faint sound of artillery in Langfang could already be heard here.

Suddenly, he heard a strange sound from the far outskirts, it seemed to be a truck, and he looked into the distance from the lookout, only to see a dozen terrifying steel monsters appear in the morning mist.

He recognized these death-smacking war machines, which were Japanese tanks.

In fact, these tanks are not powerful. The main force was the Type 94 tank, which was later known as the Little Douding tank, and the Type 95 light tank with only one squad.

But this security brigade only had one heavy machine gun, and only saw a Type 95 tank suddenly stop and slowly turn the battery at the lookout. This was the last scene the security captain saw.

-- Langfang

At this time, the 226th Regiment was already attacking frantically around the Changdeng Brigade, and Xi Xin clearly knew that the devils would definitely not be the only ones, and their reinforcements would arrive soon.

However, the two battalions of the 226th Regiment were only more than 2,000 people, while one brigade of the Japanese army had nearly 1,000 combat strength. In the face of the siege, Changdeng's brigade took it in stride and quickly occupied the commanding heights of nearby houses. Although there was no artillery support, with the accurate fire of grenadiers, heavy machine guns and rifles, they actually fought a draw with the 226th Regiment, and from time to time they fought a small counterattack.

Xi Xincai looked into the distance from the station, turning around anxiously.

Chief of Staff Shi Bang asked, "Tuanzao, why don't you let the third battalion go up, the gap between our soldiers and the devils is too big, even if we have a firepower advantage now, it will be very hard, in case the devils come to reinforcements again." ”

Xi Xincai waved his finger and said, "Will I not know?" The third battalion is to prevent the devils from coming with reinforcements. If they all are thrown in, once the devils come to reinforce the troops, what will we do? ”

At this time, I saw more than a dozen small black dots flying in the sky in the distance.

Xi Xincai knew at a glance that this was a Japanese plane, and hurriedly said, "Damn the iron bird is here." Let's hide our fire, concentrate the machine guns and drive them away!! ”

The 29th Army did not have many specialized air defense units, although there were a small number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. But they are all concentrated in Tianjin and Beiping, and places like Langfang are really not qualified to have such a sharp weapon.

Only a dozen Japanese planes were seen staggering over Langfang, and the Changdeng brigade saw the planes. They all cheered, and the soldiers of the 226th Regiment were all pale, and they had no power to fight back against the planes with only rifles. Shooting in vain for psychological comfort, some timid soldiers simply threw away their guns, took off their clothes, and ran to civilian houses as deserters.

Xi Xincai looked at the plane in a hidden fortress and sighed, "Devils of dog days, you know how to bully people!" ”

From time to time, these planes dived and fired, and from time to time they dropped bombs at high altitudes at machine gun points, and although they did not dare to descend too low because of the threat of machine guns, they caused the firepower network that had blocked the Changdeng Brigade to stop for a while.

Seeing the opportunity, Choden shouted, "Emperor's warriors, rush!" "All of a sudden, it was actually controlled by the Changdeng Brigade and another street.

The only luck is probably that the Japanese planes of this era are still Type 95 fighters, whether they carry bombs or stay in the air, they are poor, and as long as the soldiers of the 226th Regiment are well concealed, the casualties are not large.

But soon the next attack of the Japanese army arrived.

The 20th Division is a veteran division, and the 77th Wing is equipped not only with a squadron of combat vehicles, but also with artillery units.

The 77th Wing easily captured the town of Dongmaquan and set up the artillery position in the town of Dongmaquan, so that the Chinese artillery would throw a bogeyer even if they wanted to counterattack.

What's more, the 226th Regiment only had four mortars, and when the first shell fell on Langfang Station, Xi Xin knew that the real main force of the Japanese army was coming.

His suspicions were soon confirmed, and the onslaught of a fleet of tanks easily tore through the lines he had set. Even if many of the soldiers of the 226th Regiment were extremely heroic in carrying explosive bags as human bombs, they only caused a little trouble to the Japanese army.

Shi Bang asked anxiously, "Tuanza, the devil's tank is rushing over from the east, the security brigade of Dongmaquan Town has been wiped out, and our mortars can't fire three shells in one place at all, so we can only escape in all directions, what should we do?" ”

Xi Xincai looked at the artillery fire in the city and the flow of fleeing people, and laughed miserably, "What can I do?" What else can we do? We are all from the northeast, can we retreat again? It's better to repay the country with death here today. ”

After resisting the fierce battle of the Japanese army for a day and a night, the 226th Regiment suffered more than half of the casualties, Xi Xincai was seriously wounded and dying, and the chief of staff Shi Bang led the remaining soldiers to lose Beicang, Yangcun and other stations. It was not until Wei Shanzhuang retreated to hold the position, and since then, the traffic in Beiping City has been cut off except for the direction of Lugou Bridge.

The news of Langfang's attack reached Nanyuan, and Tong Linge and Deng of Nanyuan got the news, and immediately took out the information left by Li Qian to take a look, and found that even the number of the attacking troops was completely the same, so it was determined that the owner behind Li Qian did have the ability to reach the sky.

At this time, there was another news that an elite unit of 500 people suddenly broke into Beiping City and drove directly to the Japanese Embassy, and the 132nd Division tried its best to block it, but the enemy army did not fight at all, and actually rushed into the Japanese ambassador's area at the cost of more than 200 people, and united with the Japanese army's 500 troops who were already there to set up a defensive position outside the embassy.

Tong Linge understood as soon as he heard it, this was the Japanese army in preparation for the 29th Army to attack the overseas Chinese in order to blackmail the Japanese army, this was a signal that the war was about to start.

Tong Linge immediately sent a telegram to Song Zheyuan, saying that the Japanese army would attack immediately, and requested the issuance of a battle order.

Song Zheyuan received the information but hesitated, and actually sent a telegram to ask Xiangyue if there were Japanese troops doing their own thing, and Xiangyue, who laughed when she saw Song Zheyuan's telegram, immediately called back and said that there were indeed belligerent Japanese troops who made their own claims, and the 29th Army did not need to be nervous.

Song Zheyuan was still a little worried, and sent a telegram again to ask Tong Linge about the situation, Tong Linge saw that the actions of the Japanese army were exactly the same as the information provided by Li Qian, and then looked at Song Zheyuan's hesitant appearance, knowing that if this was the case, the 29th Army would really be wiped out as the people behind Li Qian said. At the same time, he also believed what Li Qian said that Song Zheyuan had Japanese spies around him.

Tong Linge simply kept asking the communication troops to send a telegram, Song Zheyuan said that the situation was critical, and seeing that Song Zheyuan had been hesitant, he simply picked it out and said: "The Japanese army has always been cunning, if the enemy attacks secretly, our army will be defeated if it is unprepared. Mr. Feng will lament. ”

Tong Linge is worthy of being born as a literati, a sentence that Mr. Feng said Song Zheyuan had to start preparing for war, after all, Song Zheyuan is helping Feng Yuxiang to be the home of the Northwest Army, Song Zheyuan is now the nominal leader of the Northwest Army, but not everyone regards him as Feng Yuxiang's reasonable heir, and many generals think that their leader is still Feng Yuxiang, and Song Zheyuan is just in charge, which is also Song Zheyuan heard Feng Yuxiang, although he was unwilling, but he still had to start preparing for war when he didn't want to be scattered. But in his heart, he began to secretly hate Tong Linge.

Song Zheyuan immediately sent a telegram to Zhao Dengyu to go north to Nanyuan, where he was fully responsible for military command, and from this moment on, the Battle of Pingjin and history changed.

After all, Song Zheyuan is a veteran general who has fought for decades, and he still has a hand in arranging troops, and now the biggest lifeline of the Japanese army is actually Fengtai, Fengtai is under the city of Beiping, and there are a large number of Chinese troops around, and Fengtai is now the headquarters of the Japanese army, Song Zheyuan ordered the 37th Division to be ready to attack the Japanese army in Fengtai at any time.

The Japanese army in Fengtai also knew that they would definitely be besieged by the 29th Army, and they were also actively preparing for defense.

Once the war started, the whole situation became a competition, whether the 29th Army would break through the Japanese headquarters first, or the Japanese army would break through the Nanyuan camp of the 29th Army first. (To be continued......)
