Early the next morning, before dawn, the mysterious man appeared in front of Zhang Zizhong again, the difference is that now this person is wearing a military uniform. The mysterious man put a military uniform in front of Zhang Zizhong and said with a smile, "In order to be able to leave Beiping as soon as possible, the aggrieved general first put on this dog skin!" We don't have much time, and I hope the general will hurry. ”

Zhang Zizhong thought about it, picked up the dog skin and quickly put it on his body, and after changing his clothes, the mysterious man left in a hurry with Zhang Zizhong. There were two three-wheeled motorcycles parked at the door, and the two got into the cars separately. The soldier who was riding a motorcycle immediately started the motorcycle, and then swaggered out of Dongjiaomin Lane and drove towards the city gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the group was stopped by the army defending the city. The mysterious man jumped off his motorcycle and muttered to the soldiers defending the city, then took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to the officers who were defending the city. After seeing this, the officer immediately gave a solemn military salute to the mysterious man, then bowed his head and apologized, and immediately ordered his soldiers to let him go.

In this way, Zhang Zizhong swaggered out of Beiping City, and more than 100 special combat personnel disguised as the Yue Army outside the city had already waited for a long time, and in this way, under the escort of more than 100 special combat personnel, Zhang Zizhong successfully escaped from Beiping City. After arriving at a safe place, the mysterious person took out a handwritten letter from Jin Zhao and handed it to Zhang Zizhong.

The content of the letter is nothing more than that the contemptible people have admired the general for a long time, and hopes that the general can join the Seventh Route Army, join hands with his brothers to fight the war, and kill the enemy to serve the country! Zhang Zizhong frowned in embarrassment after reading it.

The mysterious man saw Zhang Zizhong's embarrassment and said with a smile, "We said in general, if the general is unwilling, it doesn't matter, we will immediately escort the general to Baoding to join the 29th Army!" ”

Zhang Zizhong thought for a while, and arched his hand and said, "Please tell Commander Jin, just say the grace of saving lives, I, Zhang Zizhong, always keep it in mind, and there will be a report in the future!" ”

The mysterious man said with a smile, "We said that if the general wants to repay him, he will kill a few more little devils on the battlefield in the future!" Then the special combat team escorted Zhang Zizhong to Baoding.

After Jin Zhao received the news of Zhang Zizhong's safe arrival in Baoding in Fuzhou, he breathed a sigh of relief. When deciding whether to save Zhang Zizhong from the predicament in advance, Jin Zhao was also hesitating, Jin Zhao was afraid that once his action failed, in case the general fell early, it would be more than worth the loss, but in the end Jin Zhao decided to take a risk, for which he used more than 100 special combat personnel who had been lurking in the Pingjin area for a long time and several spies lurking in Beiping City, and even a spy who had penetrated into the army was also activated by Jin Zhao in advance, so he finally successfully rescued Zhang Zizhong.

Jin Zhao rubbed his head, and his eyes inadvertently saw the calendar on the desk, today is already August 11th! Jin Zhao couldn't help frowning again. Pingjin was lost, and the army was still increasing its troops in North China, and Shanghai was also covered with war clouds, and the war was about to break out.

Two days ago, on 9 August, Yuo Oyama, a lieutenant of the Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, led a soldier Saito to Kaizo to drive a military car to forcibly storm the Hongqiao military airfield, and was shot dead by our airport guards. After the incident, the Shanghai authorities immediately made representations to the Chinese side and demanded a diplomatic settlement. However, the army unreasonably demanded that our [***] team withdraw from Shanghai, dismantle military installations, and at the same time, send additional troops to Shanghai. In accordance with Lao Chiang's instructions, the Shanghai authorities sternly rejected the unreasonable demands of the Yue side, and the battle of Shanghai was inevitable.

"Eighty-one-three? Two days to go! Jin Zhao muttered to himself.

"Report!" Xu Wenqiang, the attendant adjutant, walked in and said loudly, "General seat! Chiefs have arrived! ”

Jin Zhao raised his wrist and looked at the watch, Jin Zhao was wearing a gold watch, which was produced by Fujian itself, and the one Jin Zhao wore was specially customized by the instrument factory for the generals of the Seventh Route Army. It was now 7:40 a.m., the time of the meeting was set at 8 o'clock, and the generals attending the meeting arrived 20 minutes in advance, Jin Zhao nodded with satisfaction, then got up and picked up the military hat on the table, buckled it on his head and strode out.

"Good! Let's all sit down and have a meeting! Jin Zhao stood in front of his seat, glanced at the generals who were straight, and nodded.

"Huh!" A uniform voice sounded, and the generals all sat down.

Jin Zhao nodded at Xie Jinyuan, Xie Jinyuan stood up and said loudly, "Now let me introduce the current battle situation to you first!" First of all, let's talk about the situation in North China. Xie Jinyuan pointed to the map on the wall with a baton in his hand and said loudly.

"Judging from the current intelligence, after occupying Pingjin, the army will continue to launch an offensive in three directions! These three directions are also three railways, namely the Pingsui Railway, the Pinghan Railway and the Jinpu Railway. First of all, let's take a look at the Pingsui Railway Battlefield, after the army captured Beiping, the army formed the Chahar Dispatch Corps, with Tojo Hideki as the commander, under the jurisdiction of the 1st, 2nd, 15th, three brigades and regiments of the Reading Force, with a total strength of about 30,000, and the 11th Brigade and the Fifth Division of the Army that had just arrived were also assigned to the Pingsui Line Battlefield. In this way, the army has the strength of one division and four other mixed brigades, with a total strength of 70,000 or 80,000 troops! Xie Jinyuan paused when he said this, and the generals attending the meeting listened to Xie Jinyuan's introduction with serious expressions.

Xie Jinyuan continued, "The deployment of our army is that the three divisions of the 7th Army Tang Enbo are responsible for the defense from Nankou to Chicheng; Liu Ruming's command post was responsible for the defense of Zhangjiakou. In addition, the 6th Group Army, which was reorganized from the Jin Army, was urgently heading to the front, and General Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the 7th Group Army, also led his descendant 35th Army out of Suiyuan and urgently drove to the front. ”

Jin Zhao nodded, although Tang Enbo is not very good, but the three divisions of the Seventh Qi Division are the elite of the Central Army, plus Tang Enbo is not incompetent in military affairs, his combat style is brave and tenacious, and he has the reputation of being an iron man in later generations, so the front line of Nankou should be worry-free for the time being.

Jin Zhao constantly assessed the strength of the two sides in his heart, although our army was temporarily at a disadvantage, if the reinforcements could arrive in time, it might not be able to stop the attack of the Yue army. But Jin Zhao knew that this was just his wishful thinking, in the history of Shanxi and Chahar battlefields, our army was defeated all the way, even Taiyuan and most of Shanxi were lost, the war is not a simple data comparison, when I think of these Jin Zhao's mood becomes more and more heavy. "Where are the 201st and 204th Divisions now?" Jin Zhao asked casually. (To be continued.) )
