The sound of gunfire in Chengde affected Zhang Xueliang's nerves in the Shuncheng Palace in Beiping. Hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated one after another in just ten days. What a soldier was defeated like a mountain! Zhang Xueliang's frightened find that he didn't know when it started? Has your Northeast Army become so unbearable? This is an unexpected defeat!
If he hadn't lost so many elite troops in the Middle East Road War, how could he be so passive now? Tang Yulin, who ran away, Zhang Zuoxiang, who was alone in tears in Peiping, Sun Dianying, who did things on his own, Song Zheyuan, who was unruly, and all parts of the Jin army who did not listen to the dispatch, Zhang Xueliang was confused for a moment, and the three divisions promised by Nanjing have now become his life-saving straw.
It seems that hundreds of thousands of troops are just strong in the middle and foreign. How many troops can you really command and be willing to fight desperately? Now Chengde, who has only one division of soldiers, has become precarious to be surrounded by at least two divisions of the Japanese army!
Although Zhang Xueliang has no outstanding strategic foresight, outstanding political acumen and excellent tactical action, this does not mean that he is a fool. Zhang Xuewu's ability to defend himself alone when the Japanese army is invading has been very moved. As the saying goes, father and son soldiers to fight tiger brothers, but he was scattered. Even if the hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops are reorganized, it may be difficult to fight again in the short term.
Zhang Xueliang, who has hundreds of thousands of troops in his name, is in a hurry at this moment. If Chengde is lost, his last chance to turn over as an unresisting general will also be lost. The only way is to give up the Northeast Army and run away. This is what Zhang Xueliang absolutely does not want to see, and it is what he is most afraid of. The result.
Can Zhang Xuewu defend Chengde? Zhang Xue's conscience was really a little uneasy. He recalled that with a group of remnants, he dared to stick to the Peking University camp and almost a division of the Japanese army. Now Zhang Xuewu, who has a whole division in his hand, can also create miracles? But the new first division should defend the key point of Chengde for at least ten days under the siege of more than 100,000 troops? Is this possible?
Zhang Xueliang looked at the map and found that about 36,000 people from the 32nd Army of Shang Zhen were still gathering near Tangshan. There are more than 20,000 people in the 29th Army of the Third Army of Song Zheyuan, transferred from Chahar Province, scattered in Ji County, Zunhua and Yutian areas in the northeast of Beiping. The troops of He Zhuguo are gathering, and the troops of Yu Xuezhong are rushing to Gubeikou. The only one who can immediately attack and rescue is about 6,000 of Shen Ke's 106th Division of the Northeast Army. People, it still takes five to seven days for Xu Tingyao's troops of the Central Army to arrive, so let Shen Ke's troops reinforce Chengde? It's like asking Shen Ke to feed the wolf!
But Zhang Xuewu, who is under the siege of Chengde, is sticking to it for himself! Chengde lost the hot river to open the door, and the Japanese army only needed to attack the mouths of the Great Wall to threaten Pingjin and North China!
After thinking about it, Zhang Xueliang personally mentioned the most important pen and drafted a message: I hereby order the 106th Division to support Chengde and attack forward!
In addition to the 106th Division, the only thing Zhang Xueliang can handle is the air force of the former Northeast Army. 147 combat aircraft, in terms of the number and quality of fighters, and even the quality of the pilots, are far more than the Kwantung Army flight team. According to relevant information, the Kwantung Army's flight in this exhibition The team has a total of seven squadrons (nine squadrons under the Kwantung Army Flight Team), with more than 60 combat aircraft. This is the largest number of air combat troops by the Japanese army after the Shenyang Incident.
Because China has about two air force squadrons in the Pingjin area, these seven squadrons are stationed at the airports of Lianshan, Suizhong and Jinzhou. At the same time, in order to prepare for the surprise attack of the Chinese air force, a large number of air defense forces have also been deployed. At the same time, the logistics organs of the Army's aviation department are in Suizhong, Jinzhou and Tongliao airports have accumulated a large number of aircraft bombs, of which Jinzhou Airport is the most. Zhang Xueliang's intention is to use the dominant air force to destroy the aviation forces of the Japanese army first, but now it seems that supporting Chengde has become a delay.
Unlike Zhang Xueliang, Song Ziwen, President of the Executive and Minister of Finance, He Yingqin, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Yang Jie, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Xiong Bin, the Chief of Staff, and others in Beiping also gathered together. The atmosphere in the conference room on the second floor of the Yellow Mansion at the entrance of the Great Cross Hutong is particularly solemn at this moment.
More than 100,000 [***] teams in Rehe collapsed like sand, and there were even many people who defected in groups and brigades. Neither Song Ziwen nor He Yingqin expected at the beginning. Now the whole Nanjing political axe has fallen into a passive state. Is it a war or a talk? Is it to talk and fight at the same time? Or do you want to fight with the Japanese invaders to the end? The four people in the room all had their own Xiaojiu, just like all kinds of troops defeated in the Rehe River. Sun Dianying and Song Zheyuan were busy annexing the troops of the Volunteer Army and the Northeast Army who were scattered. The Jin army was even more majestic and fled without a trace. The only one who stuck to Chengde was the new version of the first division under the Military Commission!
He Yingqin was very dissatisfied with the war situation in those years. In the past, all the members of all walks of life made excuses for their resistance, but it was true that I came over, but they all tried to preserve their strength and retreat one by one. Zhang Hanqing was still a graceful man dancing, and his ability to control the army seemed to be too far away?
The local faction army fled completely and almost all of them returned along the entrances of the Great Wall. The two divisions of the Japanese army have been sent down to Chengde City. The strength of the two full-filled Japanese army armor divisions is not the non-wartime formation of multiple divisions at the Shenyang Incident, but the standing armor that is really strengthening in the battle. The division, the strength of the two divisions is more than 42,000, which is more than three times that of the new first division. The fall of Chengde and the annihilation of the new first division seems to have formed a fore set.
In retrospect, on February 11, after Song Ziwen, President of the National Government Axe, jointly defended Rehe with 27 generals in Beiping and 27 generals, including Zhang Xueliang, on February 21, the Rehe Anti-Japanese War broke out. Up to now, it is said that Chengde has been besieged by the Japanese army for only only 11 days. What kind of war is this? It's really a pity that Zhang Xuewu's strong brigade. The Japanese army marched quickly. Before he could ask the Nanjing Military Commission to withdraw the new first division, the new first division was surrounded by the Japanese army.
He Yingqin is a little annoyed at this moment that Chiang Kai-shek finally gave Zhang Xuewu the order, which is equivalent to the death penalty for the new first division and defending the Jedi with the army of one division? He Yingqin was also a person who broke through the life and death of Lin Danyu in the Northern Expedition. He looked at many things lightly, but he really couldn't let go of the hard-won power in his hand. Zhang Xuewu's new first division was the best target for him to attract. However, now this object actually fell into the heavy siege of the Japanese army and died. Question mark Captured? Even surrender, no matter which one, Zhang Xuewu will fade out of Nanjing's sight.
And Chiang Kai-shek, who was in the camp in Nanchang, was furious. Every time he entered the most critical moment, he would jump out and make trouble? This is the case in the 20 years of the Republic of China, and even now! It seems that I have become a great savior of some forces?
Chiang Kai-shek stood in front of the huge map, and his eyes were tightly fixed on this point of Chengde. Chiang Kai-shek sent Song Ziwen and He Yingqin to Beiping. On the one hand, he helped Zhang Hanqing on the other hand, he also had the meaning of cleaning up the mess for Zhang Hanqing. The new first division of the Central Army in Rehe is now trapped in Chengde. This The branch of the army is a wedge for Chiang Kai-shek to enter the Northeast Army. Originally, it could not be lost. Zhang Xuewu's trust in himself can be said to give a clear signal to the generals of various local factions, that is, even if you are reorganized, you will still not lose anything. Since Jiang can treat Zhang Xuewu well, he can treat others well.
