Chapter 157: Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army

After Li Long withdrew from Chengde with his troops, he retreated to the territory of Chahar. At this time, the problem arose, because in Chengde City, Li Long looted Chengde City, and couldn't help but offend himself, and also offended the original Rehe King Tang Yulin. Tang Yulin, this old guy, thought about it, okay! Lao Tzu has worked hard to accumulate wealth for decades, and it is cheap for you kid, this is worth it! Of course, this Tang Dashuai naturally didn't think that he had time to take away those things and throw them away.

So Tang Yulin sent someone to ask Li Long for it, and Li Long naturally wouldn't spit out what he ate in his mouth. What's more, even if I want to vomit now, I can't vomit. Because Li Long's subordinates were limited, when he evacuated Chengde, he distributed some things that were not easy to carry to the people, otherwise where did the people get such great enthusiasm and move Chengde within ten days. In order to mobilize the people to move away from Chengde, Li Long also spent a lot.

Tang Yulin, who had no good impression of Li Long, was even more resentful, so he instructed his subordinates to hope to incorporate Li Long's troops. Fortunately, Ding Xichun was righteous enough and notified Li Long in advance. When Li Long learned of this situation, he naturally refused to sit still. However, after withdrawing from Chengde, Li Long had less than 2,000 men under his command, and half of them were still the Northeast Army, that is, Tang Yulin's old department.

Just when Li Long was at a loss, the opportunity came. Feng Yuxiang, the former leader of the Northwest Army, who lost his political status after the Central Plains War and was in a state of seclusion, was motivated by the national righteousness and decided to use his influence in the old department of the Northwest Army. Go to Chahar to form a volunteer army to resist the Japanese army. In October 1932, Feng Yuxiang arrived in Zhangjiakou, the provincial capital of Chahar, and expanded some of the reserve units left by the 29th Army in Chahar. And Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, was the old department of the Northwest Army and acquiesced in Feng Yuxiang's behavior. Soon, a large number of Northeast Volunteers who retreated from Rehe joined Feng Yuxiang's command, and many old Northwest Army units, bandit associations, and even local Mongolian armed forces were thrown under Feng Yuxiang's command.

On May 26, 1933, Feng Yuxiang officially announced the establishment of the Chahar People's Resistance Alliance in Zhangjiakou, with Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, Fang Zhenwu as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and Ji Hongchang as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The allied forces sent a telegram to the whole country, advocating the unity of all parties, factions, and armies to fight together.

Feng Yuxiang single-handedly established the Northwest Army, which dominated the northwest and north China for many years. Although the Northwest Army had been disintegrated after the Central Plains War, as soon as Feng Yuxiang raised his arms, a large number of old troops were thrown under his command. In addition, the establishment of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Alliance was embraced and supported by the people of all walks of life in China, and many mass organizations, celebrities, and high-ranking generals sent telegrams to Feng Yuxiang and others to express their support and congratulations. From the northeast, Rehe to Chahar, the troops willing to resist gathered under the banner of the Allied army, so that the Allied army quickly grew to more than 100,000 people.

Li Long wanted to go to Zhangjiakou to join the anti-Japanese allies, but was blocked by Jin Zhao's opposition. It is not known whether Feng Yuxiang formed the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, whether he sincerely resisted this, but it is certain that he wants to make a comeback under the banner of Anti-Japanese Resistance. And Jin Zhao knew that in the end, the resistance to the Allied Army still failed, not in the hands of Yue himself, but in the hands of Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang originally regarded Feng Yuxiang as a big trouble, Feng Yuxiang wanted to stand on his own, but Lao Jiang naturally would not agree. In addition, the factions within the Nanjing political axe itself were complex, there were many warlords, and Lao Chiang was only a nominal leader, and the various units of the Northwest Army in North China themselves were in a state of semi-obedience to Lao Chiang. In case these people were all pulled over by Feng Yuxiang, it would be a big trouble. However, due to the recent defeat of the Great Wall War of Resistance and the shouting of the slogan of resistance by the allied army, the national government did not dare to immediately ban the allied army, so it had to publicly declare that it would not recognize the legal status of the allied army, cut off all ties between the interior and Chahar Province, prohibit guns, ammunition, food, and medicine from entering Chahar from the interior, and order the Jin Sui army to concentrate in the northern part of Shanxi, and the Northwest Army and the Central Army to concentrate in northern Hebei to prepare for military encirclement and suppression. At the same time, a large number of personnel were dispatched to divide and buy various units of the Allied Army. Don't look at Lao Jiang's ability to deal with himself, he still has a very good way of dealing with warlords.

In addition, in order to be able to make a comeback, Feng Yuxiang can be said to be unwilling to come to his own troops, and even some bandit forces have used them indiscriminately, although there are hundreds of thousands of troops, but they are basically just a rabble. Therefore, the Confederate forces were doomed to defeat from the moment they were formed.

Since Jin Zhao knew that the allied army would be defeated, he naturally would not watch Li Long jump into the fire pit. Unable to defect to the Allied Army, Jin Zhao wanted Li Long to lay down a piece of territory, so in the end, Jin Zhao set his sights on the northeast of Chahar......

So Jin Zhao ordered Li Long to lead his troops north to recover Guyuan County in Chadong. After the outbreak of the Rehe Anti-Japanese War, some puppet soldiers who had taken refuge in Yue himself, with the support of Yue himself, went to Duolun, Guyuan, Kangbao and other counties in the northeast of Chahar. However, after the army occupied Rehe, the Great Wall War of Resistance broke out, and the main forces of the army were transferred to the front line of the Great Wall, and at this time there were only some puppet troops entrenched in Duolun, Guyuan and other places. Li Long's strength is too weak now, and it is tantamount to looking for death against the main force of the Shangyue Army, and if he wants to lay down a piece of territory, he can only choose these puppet armies to start.

Now that he had made up his mind, Li Long ordered his troops to assemble urgently that night, and then marched north overnight. After the troops ran out for dozens of miles after a night of rapid marching, Li Long told his soldiers the truth. Li Long stood on a dirt slope and said to the soldiers below, "Lao Tzu who is willing to stay and fight devils with Lao Tzu is welcome, and Lao Tzu who is unwilling is not forced, no one will pay five oceans for the passage and be dismissed on the spot, where to go, you should consider it yourself!" After speaking, he ordered someone to carry a box of oceans.

The two regiments under Li Long, one regiment was the subordinate soldiers brought out by Li Long, so they naturally followed Li Long. But the second regiment is different, because the second regiment is the Northeast Army that has been incorporated. In the end, more than 500 people chose to leave, and Li Long didn't care, no one gave them five oceans, and they were dismissed on the spot.

In the end, there were only more than 1,400 people left, and Li Long merged the two regiments into a single regiment, with Chen Zhenpeng as the commander and Wang Bozhang as the chief of staff. The number is still the Chengde Garrison Brigade, Li Long is the brigade commander, and Chang Sheng is the brigade chief of staff......

After the reorganization of the troops, they continued to go north and soon arrived in Guyuan. Li Long in the brigade headquarters said to the officers under his command, "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, now I will ask the chief of staff to introduce the situation of the enemy in Guyuan County." ”

Chang Sheng was not polite, and said with a smile, "According to our intelligence, it is a division of the puppet army Liu Guitang that is entrenched in Guyuan. It is said that there are more than 1,000 people in one division, and the strength is comparable to ours. ”

"Liu Guitang! Why is this name so familiar! Li Long asked with a frown. (To be continued.) )
