On 3 July, Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, proposed to the General Staff Headquarters that he would strike at China with absolute force because of the constant transfer of troops from China, and the situation in the Far East was gratifying at this time.

Soviet Russia did not know what the reason was for not opening the Ural Pass for a long time, but because of the threat to Soviet Russia caused by Germany's annexation of Austria, it strongly demanded that its ally Finland cede 10% of its territory to them, and they all said that the Japanese were shameless, and when they saw that Soviet Russia was a hungry bear that even its allies wanted to take advantage of, the Japanese felt that their invasion by force was more glorious than that of Soviet Russia;

The shamelessness of Soviet Russia was not recognized by Finland, so the non-aggression pact was torn up, and Soviet Russia mobilized 500,000 heavy troops at this time to begin to invade Finland, which had been prepared for some reason, and now they are fighting in full swing on the Finnish border, which makes the Japanese Far East Army feel very comfortable.

There is no pressure on the Far Eastern Army, their fortresses are still under construction, and the situation in Southeast Asia is clear, although the warship group that destroyed the Japanese army is a threat to the Japanese army, but now they are training in the Yellow Sea, and there is no movement to fight with the Japanese sea forces for the time being;

All this made the desire in the heart of the Kwantung Army, a strange unit that was only subordinate to Emperor Hirohito, continue to swell, and since Hideki Tojo was brought to the Kwantung Army to take over Nishio Shouzo's position, he also seems to be much more domineering than Nanjiro's power;

Seeing that Huaxia continued to mobilize some miscellaneous troops to the front line, he definitely felt that this was the best opportunity to hit the spirit of resistance of everyone in Huaxia, so after studying it for several days, he applied to Lu Shang to create an incident to have an excuse to do it.

On the night of July 7, at the Lugou bridgehead on the Yongding River, which is about 15 kilometers southwest of Beiping City. It is not only the key to the south, but also the throat of Beijing, and has been an important transportation hub and cargo distribution center since ancient times.

Historical records. Since the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the hinterland of the Central Plains into Beijing, all have to stop at Lugou Bridge, for the Beijing division to enter and exit the hinterland of the Central Plains must pass, if occupied by the enemy, Beiping is a dead city, North China is also at your fingertips.

The 8th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Wing of the Japanese North China Garrison Army was led by Captain Setsuro Shimizu. Loaded with live ammunition drove to the area between Huilongmiao and Dawayao, which was close to the Chinese garrison at Lugou Bridge.

At 7:30 p.m., the Japanese army began its exercises, and at 22:40 p.m. The Japanese army claimed that gunshots were heard in the exercise area and that a soldier (Kikujiro Shimura) was "missing", and immediately forcibly demanded to enter Wanping City, the garrison of the Chinese defenders, to search, but the 219th Regiment of the 10th Brigade of the commander of the 29th and 37th Division of China sternly refused.

Xu Fei stood beside Ji Xingwen, the head of the 219th Regiment, and watched the repetition of history. Xu Fei was not wearing that general's uniform at this time. Wearing a camouflage uniform on his body, and a Mauser blocking rifle in his hand, he looked at the Japanese liaison officer who had just been driven away with a smile and said to Ji Xingwen:

"Commander Ji, see it, this is the Japanese devil, wait for you to prepare for defense and attack, the above will not let this vital location be easily lost."

"General Xu is really far-sighted, this little devil's method is the same source as 9*18. Doesn't this little devil have any other tricks? Captain Ji looked at the position in the darkness and said hatefully.

"Devils, they don't need any skills. All they want is an excuse, wait, let the soldiers at the bridgehead rest well, and by the way, bury the mines in the opposite place where they can hide, hehe, I hope the devils will come a little more. Xu Fei found a bush and sat down and said lightly.

Although Xu Fei did not have the right to command this army, but his suggestions were well implemented, everyone knew that the destruction of the Japanese army from dozens of people to the growth of this young general was all controlled by this young general, his military command ability and judgment ability is beyond doubt, not to mention that this is not for them to attack, it is their responsibility to defend the bridge.

At five o'clock in the morning, a whistling artillery bombardment began to come, and the troops defending the bridge, who had been preparing for several days, all took refuge in the anti-artillery bunkers, and the Japanese mountain artillery continued to bombard the defenders' positions at the Lugou Bridge;

Under normal circumstances, at this time, I don't know how many soldiers would have to die under artillery fire, but this time, everyone listened to the huge sound of firecrackers outside in the bulletproof pit and was ready to kill the enemy in high spirits.

The 1st Brigade of the 1st Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army began to advance with the artillery fire under the leadership of Masaki Kazuki Kiyonao, and when the Lugou Bridge had clearly appeared in front of the devil troops, a roar of 'kill the chicken to give' broke out in his mouth.

Xu Fei saw those devils rushing towards the mouth of the Lugou Bridge under the cover of the night, he put the blocking rifle on the ground and said with a smile to Regiment Commander Ji:

"The Japanese army is attacking, you go and command the troops, I have nothing to do to shoot cold here, hehe, this time I want to see what tricks they can play."

History was revising his process, but Xu Fei sent a large amount of equipment to the originally weak 29th Army in advance, and by the way, he also reminded the defending troops of the movements of the Japanese army, he didn't believe it, under such circumstances, the 29th Army would still suffer such heavy casualties.

The Japanese troops began to attack according to the information they had previously detected, and according to their philosophy, the weapons of the 219th Regiment were backward and the ammunition was insufficient, and it would be very easy for a brigade of them to capture the position after the shelling;

Although they caused huge losses to the 219th Regiment in history, they did not take the Lugou Bridge in the end, and this time when the 219th Regiment did not suffer casualties in the shelling, they soon encountered a torrential rain of guns and a large number of mortar bombardment.

"Nani, the Chinese army has a large number of heavy weapons to defend, let Captain Setsuro Shimizu personally lead the first squadron to assault, and the mortar grenadier will bombard me." Kiyoshi Kazuki shouted loudly behind the Japanese position.

"Fully loaded, full of emperors."

More than 100 devils shouted slogans to withstand the guns and shells of the national army and rushed to the ravines on the other side of the bridge that could hide people, but they were once again frantically torn by the buried mines, and that Captain Shimizu Setsuro was lucky to run on top of a duplicate mine, and with a loud noise, this guy's body could not return to their Pure Country Shrine completely.

Xu Fei hid in the mountains hundreds of meters away, although the flame of the muzzle occasionally flashed, but at this time, where did the chaotic Japanese army have the spirit to pay attention to this, before Xu Fei could pull the tenth trigger, the Japanese army pulled their soldiers' corpses and quickly left from the night.

On the night of July 7, the development of time and space was changed, and the Japanese army retreated in a gloomy manner, with nearly 300 soldiers and officers killed, while the casualties of the 219th Regiment were indeed against the sky, and in the whole battle, except for the beginning of the shelling, a few people were wounded, and in the subsequent attack, only less than three people were killed. (To be continued......)
