Age of Rebirth

390 Chapter Nine

After Tang Qiuli made up his mind to abandon Beiping, he felt a lot more relaxed. He told his wife Mei Ting about the whole process of his inner entanglement. He only sought some comfort from his wife to let himself relax.

Mei Ting quietly listened to her husband's narration, with a peaceful smile, then gently embraced Tang Qiuli's head into her arms, leaned on the towering breasts, and slowly stroked his black and white hair. Chen's short hair, which is his favorite pose.

"Qiuli, as long as you think maturely, what other infamy are you afraid of? If there is, I am willing to bear it with you. I believe that you can take back a complete Beiping City from the hands of the Japanese. By then , all the infamy will disappear."

Mei Ting said softly, enough is enough. With Mei Ting's words, Tang Qiuli was satisfied for the rest of his life. He held Mei Ting's white face and carefully examined his wife's big black and white eyes. There, like autumn water As clear and clean as her lips, she kissed deeply on his wife's bright red and plump lips, and didn't relax until Mei Ting was out of breath, and then laughed out loud. [

Ma Heng, the director of the Palace Museum, is also the chairman of the newly established Museum Association of the Republic of China. He is a knowledgeable and respected old man who has dedicated his life to protecting Chinese cultural relics.

When Tang Qiuli saw him, the old man was sweating profusely sorting out a cultural relic. He was quite surprised to see the No. [-] person in Pingjin visit in person. However, his face was not flattered and flattering. Sit away.

When Tang Qiuli explained the reason for his visit, Ma Heng was very surprised. He let out a long sigh, his face dimmed and his eyes were absent-minded. He seemed to be muttering to himself, why?Peiping can no longer be preserved, and these cultural relics will be burned by soldiers again. What are you soldiers doing?

Tang Qiuli said silently, he couldn't say so many great principles to this pure scholar-type old man Ma Heng, no matter what, the city of Beiping would not be guaranteed.

Tang Qiuli walked out of the house, and Ma Heng followed him, staggering a little. Tang Qiuli pointed to the majestic Forbidden City and stroked the Panlongzhu, "Dean Ma, tell me, this can withstand a few rounds of artillery, Japan People will not show mercy!"

Ma Heng was silent, he also knew that what Tang Qiuli said was the truth, he let out a long sigh, "Commander Tang, what are your plans, this old man is willing to listen!"

With the consent of the Nanjing National Government, all the cultural relics of the Palace Museum in Beiping, which can be transferred, were packed and transported away. However, it was not as happened in history.

Instead, they were packed and transported to the West, and all were transported to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone. At the same time, all the experts and staff of the Palace Museum in Peking also went to Dingbian, where a new museum building was being built, and the conditions were many times stronger than those in Peking.

Tang Qiuli transferred the car transport unit. After more than ten days of busy work, all the national treasures and cultural relics that could be transported away have been loaded into the car. Tang Qiuli sent Liu Chun's first cavalry brigade to escort them all the way. and cultural relics, arrived in Dingbian safely.

After dealing with these concerns, it was already mid-June. Tang Qiuli ordered all the troops of the 29th Army stationed in Beiping City to move to the outskirts of Beiping, stationed in various garrison points, and built field fortifications. At the same time, he began to transfer the industrial and mining enterprises in the city. , machinery and equipment, evacuation of urban population.

Even though he was forced to give up Beiping, he still wanted to leave an empty city for the Japanese, a city version of a city with strong walls and clear fields. Therefore, all residents in the city must be transferred, and those who go to relatives and friends, the Jicha Political Affairs Committee is responsible for distributing travel expenses. For those who want to go to the Taihang Mountains or the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, the independent division will be responsible for the transportation and resettlement.

The evacuation order was issued by the Pingjin Police Headquarters. For a while, the railways and highways leading from Beiping to other places were full of people every day, and cars and trains shuttled back and forth, and they were busy.

The Japanese army surrounding Beiping looked at all this dumbfounded and at a loss. They didn't know what the devil Tang Qiuli was doing. Could it be that he wanted to turn Beiping into a purely military fortress and occupy the city? Stick to it and fight to the death with the Imperial Japanese Army?

The Japanese army wanted to stop them, but there was no legitimate excuse. They could only watch the Chinese leave Beiping every day. A few days later, in a huge city of nearly one million people, except for the large number of policemen who stayed behind, there was no one else to be seen. Of course, there are also citizens who do not obey orders and do everything possible to hide.

They were also secretly glad that they had finally escaped. How did they know that after the Japanese army occupied Beiping, since there were almost no residents in the city, these people became the targets of the Japanese army's oppression and suffered dozens of times more bullying and oppression. How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise?

On June 29, the Okamura Battalion of the Third Infantry Brigade of the Japanese North China Garrison held a military exercise in the Changxindian area where the 29th Army was stationed. The exercise area was only two kilometers away from the [-]th Army's defense area. The Chinese garrison position, causing serious injuries to several Chinese defenders.

The 29th Regiment of the 38th Division of the [-]th Army stationed here immediately entered the position. After asking the commander Tang Qiuli for instructions, he was ready to attack the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army sent people to contact, claiming that the artillery had misplaced the coordinates, causing the shelling target to leave the exercise area and causing accidental injuries to the Chinese Communists. Evacuate the area immediately.

On the morning of June [-], the Chinese defenders stationed at Nanyuan Airport in Beiping were conducting routine drills. Suddenly, a mixed formation of six Japanese fighter jets and bombers landed on the runway of Nanyuan Airport forcibly, and were immediately surrounded by Chinese defenders. [

The Japanese air force officer who led the team said that because of a sudden failure of the navigation equipment on the plane, the fleet lost its direction and could not find the return route. The plane had little fuel left and happened to fly over Nanyuan Airport. As a last resort, it landed in Nanyuan Court Airport.

Immediately afterwards, the North China Garrison Command of Japan also sent personnel to contact them. The Japanese side is doing its best to search for the whereabouts of this aviation unit. We are very grateful to the Chinese Communists for their great help, so that the pilots of the Empire of Japan survived.

Accompanying him were several trucks of fuel and a large number of maintenance technicians, but the Japanese military technicians acted suspiciously. They seemed to be taking pictures of the landscape of our Nanyuan Airport and looking around for the airport facilities.

Ask Army Commander Tang for advice on how to deal with it. Commander Tang immediately called back, allowing the Japanese military technicians to conduct on-site reconnaissance without any restrictions. Stayed for ten hours.

The Japanese plane took off first, but the ground personnel searched the airport on the pretext that a Japanese technician was lost. A few hours later, the Japanese technician returned to the team and the Japanese troops withdrew.

On June [-], at Gaobeidian in the eastern suburbs of Beiping, about a squadron of Japanese soldiers, without any guns, asked to pass through the defense zone of the Chinese defenders and enter the city of Beiping, but the defenders refused. In the large-scale fighting, soldiers from both the Japanese army and our side were injured, and most of the Japanese soldiers were injured, but no homicide occurred.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese North China Garrison Command sent a letter of protest, claiming that the soldiers on vacation who were not carrying firearms were suddenly attacked by heavily armed Chinese soldiers and caused many injuries. Our North China Garrison absolutely found it unacceptable. Ask the North China authorities to give a reasonable explanation and severely punish the Chinese Communists who injured soldiers of the Japanese Imperial Army.

The Japanese army then sent a major general and senior staff officer to negotiate with our troops and decided to take away our soldiers. Commander Tang did not appear in person, but his written reply to the Japanese army was: "If you want to fight, you can fight. What are you talking about? It's better to put it away, if such clumsy things happen again, our army will no longer use fists and feet, but sticks!"

The major general of the Japanese army was so angry that he claimed that Commander Tang’s move was a deliberate attempt to provoke a dispute between the two countries. He would lodge a serious protest to the Nanjing government and report the matter to the Japanese government. Extreme contempt, the Japanese side reserves the right to take further action.

Watching the Japanese envoy leave, all the officers of the 29th Army Headquarters read Commander Tang’s reply to the Japanese army again. They laughed loudly, the room was full of thunder, and the sound shook the roof tiles. The meaning of a war with the Japanese army.

At midnight on June 23, Dongguangying, the northern suburb of Beiping, where the Seventh Company of the 29th Regiment of the 38th Division of the [-]th Army was suddenly attacked by unidentified militants. There were more than [-] attackers. More than three times.

More than 120 soldiers of our garrison defended against the danger and fought bloody battles with the incoming enemy. The position was breached many times and then recaptured. The two sides competed fiercely. After about two hours of fierce fighting, our reinforcements arrived and the attackers retreated.

Observing the direction of its retreat, it was the Japanese Shunyi barracks station, and the attackers all used Japanese-style firearms. In this battle, the Seventh Company of our 38th Regiment killed [-] officers and soldiers and injured more than [-] people. The casualties of the attackers are unknown. No body of the attacker was found.

After the war, Commander Zun Tang ordered that the defenders of the Dongguang Camp be increased to a strong battalion, equipped with a company of machine guns, and lay a large number of mines along the direction of the attacker's attack and the surrounding areas.

On June 28, in the Xiangshan area of ​​the western suburbs of Beiping, the Shimizu Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Japanese North China Garrison, in the name of conducting mountain exercises, asked the Chinese garrison here, the 29st, [-]rd, [-]nd Division and [-]st Regiment of the [-]th Army, to evacuate the area. area, so as not to accidentally injure the exercise and cause disputes.

The regiment received an order from Commander Tang and refused to give an inch. They immediately cleared all roads and passes and prepared to face the battle. The Japanese army set up artillery positions at the foot of the mountain.

During this period of time, Tang Qiuli received all the reports from the 29th Army troops stationed on the outskirts of Beiping. All the reports, with one exception, were all based on the voluntary retreat of the Japanese army and the easing of the tense situation, which seemed to be on the verge of breaking out. The situation, every time temporarily shut down.

Tang Qiuli was in the headquarters, in front of the generals, with a sneer on his face, watching the Japanese jump around like monkeys who had taken aphrodisiacs, he was extremely busy.

He warned the commanders at all levels of the 29th Army that in the first ten days of July this year, there will be large-scale battles in the Lugouqiao and Wanping areas. Everything at present is an illusion created by the Japanese army. untie.
