Chapter 136: Devil Cavalry
After eating his fill, Li Long took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it slowly. Chen Zhenpeng frowned and asked, "Commander, what should we do next?" ”
Li Long spit out a smoke ring and said slowly, "Let's rest in the village for two days first!" ”
"Two days off?" Chen Zhenpeng glared at the beads and said dissatisfiedly, "The commander has already exchanged fire with the little devils on the front line, should we just hide in the back and watch the excitement?" ”
Li Long glanced at Chen Zhenpeng angrily and said, "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to go up and kill devils now!" But those eight calves, one by one, the team of the red-eyed Lao Tzu, we go up at this time, and we will not be swallowed by them! In two days, when the front line is tight, we will go up again, and then these turtle grandsons will not only be in the mood to annex us, but may have to beg our masters! ”
Chen Zhenpeng's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what Li Long meant, and said with a smile, "It's still the commander, you are thoughtful!" ”
Li Long threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said angrily, "Don't fucking pat yourself, isn't Lao Tzu forced to do nothing?" ”
At this time, Chang Sheng walked over with a telegram, "I just received a telegram from the brigade, and the brigade also asked us to rest for two days and wait and see what happens." ”
Li Long nodded and said, "Then let's rest here for two days temporarily!" It just so happens that in the past two days, the chief of staff can organize the purchase of some food, clothing, and other materials. ”
At noon the next day, Li Long looked at a map on the wall, frowned, and said, "I don't know how the front line is doing?" ”
At this time, a soldier hurried to the headquarters on horseback, jumped off his horse, and ran into the headquarters with a rolling belt, shouting as he ran, "Emergency military situation!" ”
When Li Long heard this, his face sank and he scolded and said, "Damn, why are you panicking?" The sky won't fall yet. ”
"Report to the commander, the devil cavalry has been found in the east, less than five miles away." The soldier stood in front of Li Long and said breathlessly.
"What? Devil cavalry? Li Long couldn't help but stare at him and said in surprise. But I secretly pondered in my heart, how could the cavalry of the little devil come here, could it be that the front line has been defeated, impossible! How could tens of thousands of troops on the front line be defeated so quickly. But Li Long didn't have time to think about it so much, with the speed of the devil cavalry, he should be able to get here soon, "How many little devils are there?" ”
"The exact number is not yet known." The soldier gasped and replied.
"I don't know, then hurry up and find out to Lao Tzu before reporting." Li Long roared loudly.
"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly saluted Li Long, and then hurried out again.
Li Long turned his head and ordered loudly, "Immediately send an order to the whole army and prepare for battle." In addition, inform Chen Zhenpeng that he will block the little devil for Lao Tzu no matter what. ”
What Li Long didn't know was that in the past two days, the situation on the front line had taken a sharp turn for the worse, which was already very unfavorable to our army.
Long before the outbreak of the Rehe War of Resistance, the Yue army had already learned accurate information, in Rehe, Pingjin and other places, a total of more than 300,000 Northeast troops under Zhang Xueliang and Tang Yulin were stationed, plus some local warlord troops, the total strength of the Chinese side exceeded 400,000, but the side was not worried at all.
Because at this time, Lao Chiang in Nanjing was implementing his so-called policy of "first securing the inside and the inside before attacking the outside", and his subordinates were under the Central Army, and they were making every effort to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and it was impossible for him to go north. In addition, the Jin army in North China. The Northwest Army and the Northeast Army also strongly opposed the transfer of Lao Chiang's army to North China, so as not to annex their own territory by Lao Chiang.
As for Zhang Xueliang, he didn't pay attention to it at all. If Zhang Xueliang had really been determined to resist, at the time of the 918 Incident, the Kwantung Army would not have been able to occupy the three eastern provinces so easily.
As for Tang Yulin, who supports the army and respects himself in Rehe, in his opinion, he is simply a straw bale. Moreover, he himself had been prepared for a long time, and before the outbreak of war, he began to secretly infiltrate the Tongbu army, and had successfully bribed many middle and high-ranking officers in the Tongbu.
Sure enough, as soon as the war broke out, his own infiltration played a role. At the beginning of the battle, the commander of the 106th Infantry Brigade of Dong Futing in Chaoyang, Shao Benliang, first led his troops to surrender to the enemy's 8th Division; Choi Heung-moo, commander of the cavalry brigade in Kailu, also surrendered the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the enemy. As a result of the instigation of the army, some echelons surrendered to the enemy one after another, causing mutual suspicion and spontaneous disturbance within and among the various units, and retreating in an disorderly manner, causing the command organs to lose control over the troops.
For some small and medium-sized warlords in North China, such as Sun Dianying's army and Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, he has never paid attention to it.
But it was precisely because of the arrogance of the Yue army that the Yue army eventually suffered a small loss in front of these warlord forces that they thought were not worth mentioning. The 6th Division was suddenly attacked by Sun Dianying's troops at the Hala Pass east of Chifeng, and fought all the way to the vicinity of the enemy's division headquarters. The staff officers, service personnel and a small number of troops of the enemy's 6th Division concentrated on the headquarters hurriedly resisted, and when the enemy's follow-up troops arrived, Sun Dianying's troops withdrew. However, Sun Dianying's troops fully resisted the sixth division of the Yue army for seven days, and then retreated without the enemy, and still fought with the Yue army for more than ten days before the defeat and retreat to the territory of Chahar.
Because of the Tanglin treasure theft incident, Sun Dianying, who had a bad reputation, saved some face by taking advantage of the performance of the Rehe War of Resistance. In fact, the reason why Sun Dianying agreed to Zhang Xueliang to enter Rehe to resist is also to use the name of resistance to save his reputation and make a comeback. Its performance in the Rehe War of Resistance was really good, although it suffered heavy losses, but it also gave the army great casualties. But Sun Dianying's strength not only did not weaken because of this, but was further strengthened because of this, because this guy took the opportunity to annex Tang Yulin's two cavalry brigades, an infantry regiment and some other anti-volunteer troops when Tang Yulin's troops were defeated, which can be said to be fame and fortune.
The enemy's 8th Division, which attacked Chengde, and the mixed 14th Brigade, which attacked westward from Suizhong, responded to each other and quickly pushed forward. The defenders of Rehe resisted only in the area of Ye Bai Shou. At this time, the enemy had formed a roundabout encirclement in the north, which caused the entire battle situation of Rehe to be shaken, and the defenders of Rehe were routed on all fronts. Tang Yulin, who received the news of the defeat on the front line in Chengde, not only did not organize troops to reinforce the front line, but hurriedly packed up the softness, and fled from Chengde City in a hurry with his aunts and wives.
Because Tang Yulin abandoned the city and fled, the defenders in Chengde City immediately fell into chaos when there was no one to command. The spies of the army also took the opportunity to walk the rumors and create chaos, and the rumors in Chengde City were everywhere, and the people learned that the little devils had called, and hurriedly packed up and escaped from Chengde, and for a while, the city of Chengde was in chaos.
