March 15, 1935, Hebei, Baoding Battlefield

After ten days of desperate fighting, the 100,000 Chinese defenders who fought alone finally collapsed on all fronts.

Standing on the mound in the south of the city, looking at the burning city, Song Zheyuan, who had broken through in a hurry, couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down.

At this time, General Song Zheyuan was no longer the majestic when he sat in the old capital of Beiping, but was full of exhaustion and frustration, and his face was blue. Days of hard fighting tormented him to the ground, and the tragic sacrifices and successive defeats almost broke his backbone.

What makes Song Zheyuan feel the most heartbroken at the moment is that the 29th Army, which he has worked so hard to manage, is over!

——In terms of his strength and position, the defensive battle of Baoding under his command has been fought very interestingly. He was only the commander of the 29th Army, a general who had been on the front line of resistance against Japan for many years, but now he was forced to shoulder the burden of the entire country's resistance against Japan alone, and with a mere army of 100,000 troops, he resisted the attack of Japanese imperialism......

What a battle it was, wow! In the past ten days, he withstood the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria, the Japanese North China garrison in Tianjin, the Japanese garrison in Mongolia from Zhangjiakou, and the Korean army and Japanese mainland reinforcements that crossed the sea...... Counting those traitors and puppet troops, the Japanese have already invested 300,000 heavy troops on the battlefield in North China, which is three times as much as Song Zheyuan's troops!

Moreover, compared to the 29th Army, which had almost only rifles and grenades, the Japanese imperialist invaders had forest-like artillery. Dark clouds of planes, countless steel chariots, almost as soon as the war began. can turn the positions of the Chinese army into a sea of fire.

However, Song Zheyuan did not have any reinforcements, and his entire strength had been dragged on the battlefield in Baoding. During the arduous defensive operations, his officers and men were unable to rest and rotate at all, and all of them were deaf, their hands and feet were weak, their whole bodies were blackened by gunsmoke, and their faces and bodies were covered with bloody scabs. The soldier was emaciated, and the officer was sleepwalking...... But the positions fell one after another, and the troops were routed one by one. It made him feel more and more desperate.

The fierce Japanese in front of him certainly made Song Zheyuan anxious, but the various knives from behind made him even more chilling - the Nanjing Nationalist Government dismissed him from his position and the number of the 29th Army, declared the 29th Army on the North China battlefield a "rebel army", and even whimsically ordered Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Han Fuqu in Shandong. cooperate with the Japanese army to launch an "encirclement and suppression" against him; The Wuhan Nationalist Government also condemned his anti-Japanese war. He was reprimanded for "provoking his neighbors". As for other local warlords, they also paid lip service but did not come to the truth, and the good words praising him for his "anti-Japanese righteous deeds" were baskets after baskets, which simply said that Song Zheyuan was the reincarnation of King Yue, but when Song Zheyuan really asked them to pay for the army, they pretended to be deaf and dumb one by one, pretending not to know...... Only Yan Xishan from Shanxi was worried about the cold lips and teeth, and managed to send him some ammunition and mortars, but unfortunately the number was really a drop in the bucket.

What's even more terrifying. American and British imperialism also sided with the Japanese this time. At the time of the Japanese invasion, the foreign banks forcibly withheld the donations collected by the people in the rear. The 29th Army's salaries were almost cut off, and at the same time, Song Zheyuan was embargoed on arms sales, so that his troops soon could not even supply ammunition. The pro-Japanese traitors in Hebei are still stirring up trouble everywhere, organizing national scum to attack his munitions warehouses and field hospitals...... By the time this battle reached Zuihou for a few days, the soldiers of the 29th Army on the battlefield in Baoding could no longer eat, drink, or sleep, and there was little ammunition left.

As a result, in such an all-round internal and external attack, the 29th Army was finally crushed - senior generals fled one after another, or defected to the enemy. The officers and soldiers at the bottom simply dispersed in a hurry, and the survival of the nation and the righteousness of the country were completely forgotten by these poor cannon fodder, and they only wanted to find a peaceful place at this time, go to eat a good meal, drink a good bottle of wine, and then stretch their legs and fall asleep...... They don't want to fight anymore.

As the saying goes, the building will fall, and there is no power to return to the sky...... At present, the 100,000-strong army has collapsed, the whole province of Hebei is rotten, there is no food, ammunition, and no natural dangers, it is impossible to continue to hold on, he Song Zheyuan with a brigade of remnants of the defeated general, where should he go now?

When the Battle of Baoding was in full swing, two divisions of Japanese troops had poured into Shandong from Cangzhou, plus the Japanese heavy army group in Xuzhou and the Japanese fleet at sea...... Under the siege from three sides, Shandong may not be able to hold out for long.

Yan Xishan in Shanxi is not a good person to run to. I remember that when he fought in the Central Plains War, he did the matter of turning his face and putting Feng Yuxiang under house arrest, although this guy is shouting the anti-Japanese tone very high at the moment, but when the Japanese soldiers are in the city, God knows if he will turn his face faster than turning a book, and immediately sell himself as a traitor, and by the way, he will sacrifice his die-hard anti-Japanese faction as a vote.

“…… Let's go to Henan and find Zhang Xueliang's partner! He sighed and made a final decision, "...... This Young Marshal Zhang has already been a 'non-resistance general' in front of the Japanese once, and he has lost the face of his old Zhang family, so he shouldn't come back for the second time now! ”

“…… If Zhang Shaoshuai was frightened by the Japanese invaders and really wanted to be a 'non-resistance general' again, what should he do? Someone asked.

“…… If this is the case, then the whole of North China is completely finished. And the future of our China can only count on the Red Army. ”

Song Zheyuan replied with a melancholy expression, and at the same time turned around and looked up at the sky in the southeast, "...... Let's hope they don't disappoint......"

At the same time, in the midst of sporadic gunfire and pervasive gunsmoke, a tattered blue sky and white sun flag was pulled out of Baoding City and thrown down. Then, with a burst of cheers of "long live" and "long live", several sun flags rose on the city walls.

The complacent commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Sugiyama Moto, was standing in front of the smoke-strewn ruins, boasting of his prowess to a group of war reporters. And Masanobu Tsuji, a staff officer of the Kwantung Army in the headquarters, was looking at a submission from a Chinese captive with a smile and a smile:

“…… We left the team and threw our guns over to the Japanese army, hoping to give us a way to settle down. But it's been three days since we arrived here, is there any way to deal with it? Thousands of poor people, who have been hungry for more than four days, have not eaten any porridge and water, and we are about to starve to death. In this moment of life and death, I hope that Great Japan will save the lives of thousands of us...... I beg the Great Japan to maintain our porridge and meal...... I beg the Japanese army to provide us with food and drink so that we can all obey with peace of mind, or pay us as appropriate, and send us back to our hometowns, so that we can go back to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

“…… Hehe, it is really an inferior nation with degraded martial virtues, these cowardly scum who are not worthy of living in the world at all, do they regard the Imperial Japanese Army as a charity? Masanobu Tsuji snorted contemptuously and tore the filthy submission to shreds.

“…… But what should be done with these prisoners of war? Another staff officer interjected, "...... Could it be that he was escorted back to Manchuria to work as a laborer? ”

“…… It doesn't have to be so much trouble! There has long been an instruction in China that these Chinese soldiers who dared to resist the Japanese Imperial Army should be treated with the most brutal killing, following the precedent of the Manchurians and Mongols who went south to conquer the Central Plains, so as to deter the people and break the fighting spirit of the Chinese people......" Masanobu Tsuji replied," Masanobu Tsuji replied...... So, kill them all! Let the other warlords of China take a look, this is the end of daring to fight against the imperial army! ”

As a result, a few hours later, the Chinese prisoners of war who submitted a letter to the Japanese army asking for severance pay were obediently killed en masse......

PS: WATCHING THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT'S COMBAT IN RESPONSE TO THE INVASION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN THE PAST TWO DAYS REALLY MAKES PEOPLE LAUGH - THEY ACTUALLY ISSUED A MOBILIZATION ORDER ON FACEBOOK (FACEBOOK), PREPARING TO MOBILIZE A MILLION TROOPS TO FIGHT, AND ASKED UKRAINIAN STRONG MEN TO PREPARE THEIR OWN FOOD AND RAISE WEAPONS TO DEFEND THE COUNTRY! This is the general war of the Internet age? Already upgraded from the keyboard Politburo to the keyboard General Staff? Mobilize 1 million IDs to fight mouth cannons?

Zuckerberg can boast everywhere in the future that the Ukrainian interim government has used the military combat command system we developed! Well, is it necessary to appoint an ID as a company commander for every 100 square kilometers, and then search for nearby IPs through the "shake" function of **? I vaguely remember that there used to be a "Weibo uprising" or something like that, probably like this. It is estimated that it would be good to be able to mobilize a million cannons.

In this way, the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine is that the liberals are responsible for maintaining ideology and conducting academic criticism, and the public intellectuals are responsible for condescending ridicule of the enemy, but no one is responsible for specific combat affairs, because even if they want to go to mercenary companies again, there is no money in the treasury, and the bigwigs only care about their own pockets and never want to break their homes to save the country - this is the war of public intellectuals and democracy fighters!

From this point of view, it seems normal that the EU is unwilling to provide loans to the new government, and at the moment, the virtue of the Kyiv gang will not send troops even if they take the money! However, the level of floating military spending is first-class, and I am afraid that it will make the patron feel more collapsed than Chiang Kai-shek, the captain of the transport brigade!

I don't know if this Ukrainian crisis can play the level of comic in the modern Japanese chapter of "Chengguan Invincible", or is it better than the blue?

Well, in the final analysis, they must be on their knees at this time begging the US imperialists and the EU to send troops to save their lives and fight another Crimean War!

It seems that everyone seems to be living in the rotten shijie in my old Wang's book! It seems that the book could be changed to a realistic genre rather than a science fiction genre.

Zuihou, if a group of Cold War remnants can be drilled out of Chernobyl when the fierce battle is in full swing, it will be a real masterpiece! (To be continued......)
