Chapter 72 Solid defense, solid defense

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath. He knew that because the Japanese army attacked Rehe twice as much as before, it could be said that it was swept by the momentum of thunder. The battle time in history may no longer be used as a reference. Zhang Xuewu knew that he would face a brand-new battle compared with history. Service.

Soon, because of the loss of Tang Yulin's main backbone, whether it was the moving guard camp or the pistol regiment of the freight station, all of them were disarmed by Zhang Xuewu, but Zhang Xuewu also left a battalion of the pistol regiment to escort Tang Yulin's crying aunt and more than a dozen aunts back to Beiping.

After counting the materials, Zhang Xuewu was a little dumbfounded. Tang Yulin has transported two batches of family wealth to Tianjin. This is the last batch and the largest batch. More than 15,000 strips, three million in the ocean, a large number of silver ingots, countless jewelry, antiques, and more than eight tons of high-quality hot river "high smoke"! When Zhang Xuewu was d dreaked, he really admired Zhang Yulin's ability to receive Rehe's tax in the 53rd year of the Republic of China in the 18th year of the Republic of China.

Zhang Xuewu has never been a rich man. He has not seen the group of oceans that checked Zhou Ying with his own eyes before. Compared with any corrupt official at the level of the later generation who can take hundreds of millions of foreign countries, Zhang Xuewu's nerves have not felt any shock for a long time.

But when he saw the box of silver dollars with his own eyes, Zhang Xuewu regretted that he should not have returned the silver dollars loaded with dozens of cars to Zhou Ying! This is all money!

Li Xinkai grabbed a big ocean, and the gendarmes beside him couldn't help looking sideways at the two people. Zhang Xuewu knew where people's greed came from. Even he was a little reluctant to let go at this moment! This is all money! Is the real money in front of you?

Tang Yulin's escape was completely beyond Zhang Xuewu's expectation. It can be said that Zhang Xuewu knew that Tang Yulin would escape, but he didn't expect to escape so early? And will you abandon your own troops and flee without a trace? You should know that the army is the capital and foundation of a warlord to settle down. Zhang Xuewu believes that at this moment, Tang Yulin is likely to have been scared by his own thunder attack.

Li Xinkai, the chief of staff of the division, and Huang Tao, the director of the political department, began to collect the headsless Tang officers and soldiers, reissue the military pay, and make up the existing regiments as a company. According to Li Xinkai's conservative estimate, about 7,000 people from Tang Yulin's three brigades, together with the guard force and pistol regiment, were willing to join the new first division.

Zhang Xuewu also knows that this kind of blatant annexation of friendly troops is very inappropriate. In particular, the supplement of the Central Army must be reported to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs for review, but he has no other way for the enemy, because from the perspective of the current war situation, it is impossible for the new first division to compete with Huang Jie's 2nd Division and Guan Zhenglin's 25th Division. It's time to meet!

The troops of 17,000 people gave Zhang Xuewu a little confidence. In addition to changing the troops and disrupting the establishment, and assigning the ranking units to the regiments, Zhang Xuewu transferred two battalions from each regiment as the general reserve team directly under the divisional, and dispatched all the troops to carry out a round of Chengde's urban area. Large-scale demolition, all the materials that can be used are dismantled and transported away.

And dismantled all the residential houses within 300 meters in the wrong Donggang on the North and South Street, cleared all the shooting boundaries. The artillery marked the secret coordinates, stuck to the two points, and left an interspersed route for the Japanese army in the middle, so that Chengde City became his own meat grinder! In addition to the deployment, Zhang Xuewu did not forget to send a report to Beiping and Nanjing: Tang Yulin, the chairman of Rehe, ignored the military law, and led the army to abandon Rehe and escape without a trace. The department collected the remnants of the Tang Legion with the intention of sticking to Chengde. He said that the heavy troops did not arrive, and 100,000 fires urgently asked for help!

Zhang Xuewu's pre-emptive telegram was three hours earlier than Tang Yulin's complaint. Although the content of the two telegrams blamed each other, no one was a fool. Zhang Xuewu was still in Chengde, and Tang Yulin refused to reveal where he was? Now the problem becomes clear!

Beiping and Nanjing Wanwan didn't expect that the occupation of Rehe would collapse to such an extent? The 11th and 36th brigades and the 4th cavalry brigades under the jurisdiction of the 6th Division along the Kailu, together with the 8th and 33rd brigades of the infantry under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division, in cooperation with Liu Guitang and other parts of the pseudo-Manchu army, invaded the front line from Kailu to Chaoyang Temple, with the intention of taking Chifeng, Quanning and other places to the west. The Rehe garrison met the Japanese army with a total of about 50,000 people in ten brigades of the 5th and 6th armies. The defenders were at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In particular, most of the departments along the line were not prepared for battle at all. Many troops and even fortifications dealt with it hastily. How can they resist the fierce attack of the Japanese army?

Cui Xingwu's 7th Caval Brigade, stationed in Kailu by Tang Yulin, retreated to Lin Dong as soon as soon as they took over the battle, and then defected to the enemy. The Sixth Division of the Japanese army and the puppet army each occupied Kailu on the 23rd, and on the 25th, they took Xinglongdi and Xiawa. Banben Zhengyouweimen attacked Chifeng with the main force of the 6th Division and defeated the 117th Brigade of Sun Dianying. In the middle of the night, the brigade was defeated and retreated to Huajiagoumen and Monkey Headgou. The Japanese army immediately occupied Chifeng and quickly penetrated Chengde with the main flank of the 10th Division!

The infantry 3rd and 16th brigades and the 3rd cavalry brigades under the jurisdiction of the 8th Division attacking Chengde along Chaoyang are lined up with the 27th and 28th infantry brigades under the jurisdiction of the 14th Division. With the overwhelming momentum, it has the meaning of taking Chengde soldiers out of Pingjin, and stationed in Beipiao Tang Yulin's headquarters in Chaoyang. The 107th Brigade, because the former regimental commander Shao Benliang incited the old troops to surrender, so that they retreated in a short battle.

Xiyi Yi transferred all the automatic convoys with the third cavalry brigade to advance quickly along the Chaoyang, Lingyuan and Pingquan highways. The 130th Division of Wan Fulin built a position near Ye Baishou to block the Japanese army. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the department was forced to retreat to Pingquan. Secondly, after the 14th Division of the Japanese Army detoured and occupied Lingyuan, it continued to advance to Pingquan. After the 130th Division went to Pingquan to join the 129th Division, it was ready to block the advance of the Japanese army. However, because Wan Fulin's Fourth Army had been shaken on the whole line, the department also retreated to Xifengkou.

So far, in just one week, under the sweeping of the 200,000 troops of the Japanese army, the defenders of Rehe, who had no fighting spirit, have been defeated one after another. Chengde has been placed in front of the Japanese army, and the new first division of Chengde seems to have become a mouthful of fat that takes the initiative to send into my mouth?

After learning about the military situation in Rehe, Beiping and Nanjing are like an earthquake. If Chengde falls, it will undoubtedly be a great defeat in the military, political, and even spiritual defeat of 450,000 Chinese people!

"Chengde must be firmly guarded! Order Xu Tingyao's 17th Army headquarters to arrive in Chengde to reinforce the new first division before March 10th! To generate electricity for Zhang Xuewu, at this time when the country is in danger, the Party [***] people should cast a shield for the people for the country, and Chengde should not abandon it and stick to it with all its strength!"

Chiang Kai-shek slapped the table, and the collapse of the Rehe War was beyond his expectation. He was no longer allowed to do anything to preserve his strength. If he could not give him a head-on blow, his appetite would become bigger and bigger, and China would also give him a weakness to bully him. Impressions.

After receiving a call from Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang did not hesitate at all and immediately issued an order to execute Tang Yulin as an example. He not only stamped the seal of the Beiping Army Branch, but also attached his private seal (commonly known as the Great Order of the Northeast Army)!
