As for who poisoned the guards of Tianjin, there were different opinions for a while, but this must have nothing to do with the Japanese. But no matter what, the Japanese have opened the door to Jixian, and the whole army is advancing towards Jixian.

At this time, in a secret room in Jixian County, Zhao Yunzheng was sitting upright, with a projection in front of him, checking the battle situation of Tianjin Wei, and seeing that the Japanese army had almost no decent resistance after breaking through Tianjin Wei, he couldn't help but look solemn.

Beside him was Wang Chengbin, who was responsible for guarding Jixian County this time, and his face was not much better when he saw the Eight Banners Bannerman he had entrusted with the important task fleeing in front of the Japanese army.

"I thought that with heavy troops guarding Tianjin, the situation of resisting the Japanese attack from the sea this time would be slightly better, and it could be delayed for at least a week or ten days. The Japanese army seems to attach great importance to Luda, and the remaining troops are all elite in the army, and the team sent to reinforce Qingdao is weaker than that, but I didn't expect this group of rice buckets to not hold for two days. It seems that this time I am afraid that the Japanese army will have to fight under the city of Jixian. Wang Chengbin looked at the scene in the projection, sighed and shook his head again and again.

"General Wang doesn't have to blame himself, the Japanese army was deployed in Tianjin Wei earlier than us, and we were already one step behind them, as long as it wasn't too late, then we still had a chance to defeat them. Speaking of which, this time the Japanese army seems to have rushed through the Tianjin Guard, almost as if they were in a no-man's land, but they are not a lone army! In the air, we have the airfield in Nanyuan, and on land, we have Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and they have neither the fire support of large-caliber naval guns like the brigade, nor the decent cavalry and tanks, so in terms of equipment, the Manchurian mixed regiment under General Wang has a great advantage in equipment! Although the timing of the Japanese army's selection this time was quite embarrassing, several strong troops stationed in Jixian County had been transferred to the northeast and northwest, and the remaining teams were outstanding, such as General Wang's descendants, and they were stationed in various places to suppress local warlords, so they could only send the two regiments of Manchu and Mongolia to meet the battle. Zhao Yun glanced at the battlefield in the projection again, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and he also put a big question mark in his heart about Manmeng's combat power.

"Although the strength of the Mongolian cavalry regiment is extraordinary, after all, they are not the team of the Outer Mongolian Chechen Khan, they have not experienced the experience of fighting against Soviet Russia, and the weapons are mostly horse guns, light machine guns and carriage machine guns are less equipped, and they are mostly the team temporarily put together by the prince of Inner Mongolia, many of these people are still suspected of being pro-Japanese, if they are finally relied on, the battle situation may not be too ideal." Since Wang Chengbin took in these Mongolian cavalry, he naturally found out all of them, and knew what kind of goods these people were, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't help revealing a sadness.

"Those who dare to offend my strong man will be punished even if they are far away!" Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, and reprimanded Wang Chengbin's negative attitude, "Let those Manchurian soldiers give me up, and I will personally lead the team to press you down." You know what you're worried about, isn't it just that you don't have enough say in the flag? This is a national war, if there is a prince Baylor banner master or something that dares to retreat or does not listen to your dispatch, I will cut off their heads for you and support you! ”

"Thank you for your support! The last general must keep this Japanese army out of the city, otherwise he will come and see him! Hearing Zhao Yun's promise, Wang Chengbin suddenly changed to a look of great joy and said excitedly. He is in the Eight Banners, and those hardcore crop soldiers under his command are okay, but there are too many yellow belts in Jixian County, and many old and young people do not buy Wang Chengbin's account at all. Then why do you command and command us poor bannermen? Our ancestors are also heroes, and they also have knighthoods! A bowl of water is not level, and these arrogant and accustomed flagmen act recklessly, and the pressure on Wang Chengbin can be imagined.

"Your head is worthless, so keep it to yourself! The Timurid Department has already galloped to the aid of Jixian County in the starry night, and it will arrive in a few days, and your department only needs to hold off the Japanese army for two or three days! Zhao Yun's expression also eased, and for some reason a trace of sigh appeared in his heart, "No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." How could the Ming Dynasty be replaced by this Manchu Qing? ”

No matter how much external pressure the Ming Dynasty encountered, it neither surrendered on its knees nor ceded land to pay reparations. From Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty to the last years of Chongzhen, in several battles to defend Jixian County, the Ming Dynasty was even more determined, and the soldiers were still willing to die rather than move the capital under the city, "the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died and the society died", such an experience is rare in Chinese history! And compared with the Xianfeng Emperor of the Qing court who sent the people of Jixian County to flee in spite of the two hasty escapes, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel sad for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

But whether it is sad or not, now that the Japanese army has advanced to Jixian, Zhao Yun must let Wang Chengbin fight. Once the soldiers come to the city, then the image of China that Zhao Yun has worked hard to establish, as well as the panic of the people in the city, it will be too much loss!

The soldiers were fast, and the Japanese army marched fast, relying on the train snatched from Tianjin, all the way through Langfang, so that Wang Chengbin's plan to prepare to block the Japanese army in Langfang fell through.

This series of victories made the Japanese army breathe a sigh of relief, and the Japanese military top brass finally felt that at least not all Chinese troops suddenly rose up, from soft persimmons that everyone can pinch to copper peas that cannot be boiled or broken. The Huaxia army is still the same as before, but it is better equipped, and the will to fight is still the same.

The Japanese army breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Yun could only express helplessness in the rear. Langfang lost, the Japanese army was equivalent to entering the territory of North Zhili, if Wang Chengbin was defeated again, Jixian was at the point where there were no soldiers available. However, Wang Chengbin's efforts still bought enough time for Jixian County.

In the two days when the Japanese were desperately marching into the army, the Beiyang government organized an army of 100,000 people near Jixian County, where the people were fierce, and offered a reward for each Japanese soldier's head with an order similar to the "killing order", which slightly stopped the madness of the Japanese army. Let me never put a hand of the Japanese into Jixian.

However, the emergence of so many miscellaneous teams has made the hills around Jixian County numerous, and if the Japanese army cannot be cleaned up this time, then the precarious regime of the Beiyang government will become even more fragile. On the other hand, the Japanese have already sent chariots to Langfang one after another. Only two days later, when the Beiyang government gathered everyone to resist the Japanese army, the Japanese had gathered more than 20 tanks and four or five hundred war horses captured in Tianjin, and broke the three lines of defense in the southeast of Jixian in one go. They could already see the ancient city wall of Tong County on the outskirts of Jixian County.

But they were then pushed back by the flesh and blood of the Chinese people.

Tongxian, also known as Tongzhou in later generations, has become a meat grinder, and the damage between the two sides here is getting bigger and bigger. For a whole day, the gunfire did not stop, and in the south and east of Jixian County, more than 20,000 soldiers on both sides had fallen and never got up. Of course, there were many more Chinese troops who fell than the Japanese army.

The Chinese army fought hard and attrition, and for a time the total number of Japanese landing troops continued to decrease sharply. After occupying Tianjin, the Japanese army captured a batch of ammunition, but these ammunition were obviously equipped with "Hanyang-made", which did not match the weapons used by the Japanese army at all, so the Japanese army either chose to abandon the Japanese-style equipment, or had to count the bullets to live.

And the Japanese army has no backup at all at the moment, it is really one less to die, and as the Japanese army is consumed, the defenders of Tongxian County burst out with greater passion. The airport in Nanyuan has planes taking off and landing all the time, participating in the war against Japan, and young people in Tongxian County are constantly being incorporated into the sequence of recruits, and even the old people and women have taken up arms and are ready to defend their homes. Zhao Yun did not want the incident in Nanjing to repeat itself, on the one hand, he ordered Wu Peifu to step up the elimination of the Japanese warships still stranded in Qingdao Port, so as to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the sea advantage to reinforce this team; On the one hand, he ordered Wang Huaiqing to watch over the defenders of Luda and stop them from providing assistance to this Japanese army.

In the face of the resistance of the Chinese, the Japanese encountered great resistance in Tongxian. However, the Japanese still did not divide their troops to attack other places, and only fought to the death in Tongxian.

There was nothing wrong with the strategy of the Japanese army's top brass, behind Tongxian was Jixian, although the Japanese encountered stubborn resistance outside the city, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was only temporary. If the troops were divided, it might be smooth at first and achieve greater results, but once these troops were divided, they would eventually drown in the sea of Chinese resistance.

On the contrary, it is better to only grasp the point of Jixian County, and use the temporary victory to suppress Huaxia's counterattack, once it is broken, it may directly crush the confidence of the Huaxia people and easily force Huaxia to the negotiating table.

What the Japanese needed was not to completely occupy China, and even the significance of attacking the Lugou Bridge in later generations was not the same, and to promote negotiations was what the Japanese wanted most. Therefore, the Japanese army chose to step up the pace of the offensive at any cost.

By the time Wang Chengbin gathered two regiments from the suburbs of Jixian County to kill the Japanese army, the Japanese army had already captured Tongxian Chengguan. The fall of Tongxian County changed Wang Chengbin's strategic situation. Wang Chengbin had to face the situation of a field battle with the Japanese army. In order to boost morale and boost the morale of the army, after Wang Chengbin's army arrived, he chose to temporarily avoid the front, made a big fanfare, lined up in front of the enemy, and used swords, axes, and tanks as law enforcement queues to organize the team to attack.

According to the original plan, Wang Chengbin set up a two-wing formation, and the troop configuration was like a geese flying over an oblique line, so that the power of the firing arms could be brought into full play. The cavalry was in the rear, the infantry and artillery were in the front, and after the cannon was fired, the Manchurian cavalry began to charge, which was the beginning of the attack.
