Glorious Mission 1937

Everyone in the Security Command felt the commander's anxiety. Although they didn't know why Commander Chen was upset, everyone knew that it was best not to bother the commander at this time, otherwise the commander would probably be punished. He swears.

The news from Beiping is getting worse and worse. Since late June, the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai have continuously held so-called military exercises.

More and more refugees escaped from the city of Beiping. No one knew the tense atmosphere there better than these refugees, and some sensitive businessmen also withdrew from Beiping one after another.

Chen Feng was indeed very anxious. During this period of time, he sent someone to quietly investigate the defense situation of the surrounding counties. The scouts reported back the situation, which made Chen Feng feel very heavy.The situation along the Datong line is fine. After all, it is the gateway to northern Shanxi, and Yan Xishan dare not be careless.

However, the situation from Fengzhen to Jining and the front line of Chahar Right Wing Banner is not so good. Jining is an important military town in Suiyuan, but the garrison is only a regular army of one regiment, and there is another one that is called a regiment even though its name is above. , is actually just a security regiment to strengthen the battalion, with a total strength of less than 500 people.

Chahar Right Wing Front Banner, the gate of Jining, has only 300 garrisons, simple and outdated weapons and equipment, and extremely limited combat effectiveness.The situation in Fengzhen was similar, with only an understaffed security team stationed there.

Later, Chen Feng ordered people to investigate the situation in Shangdu, Zhangbei, Tianzhen, Yanggao and other counties, and found that the situation in each place was not much different, and the military chiefs in these places were not prepared for the outbreak of war at all.

It is conceivable that when tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops descend from the sky, what kind of panicked expressions these people will have.

But knowing this, Chen Feng was powerless to change it.He is just the head of the security regiment of Xinghe County, and his defense area is limited to a palm-sized area in Xinghe, and it is not his turn to intervene in other places.

All he can do now is to constantly order the soldiers to strengthen the city defense fortifications, build air-raid shelters, build air-raid fortifications, and try to make himself more fully prepared before the outbreak of war.

On July 7st, Chen Feng ushered in the July system rewards, perhaps because of his character explosion, this time Chen Feng actually got the rifle production line, the model is German Mauser 1k.

Without further ado, in a medium-sized cave at the back of Daqing Mountain, Chen Feng finished installing the rifle production line.Then he appointed William the Jew as the chief adviser of the arsenal, and at the same time invited his father Chen Binggong to the mountain to be responsible for all affairs of the base.

However, before Chen Feng was happy, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, which shocked China and the world, broke out.

1937年7月7ri下午，卢沟桥的ri本驻军在未通知中国地方当局的情况下，ri本华北驻屯军第1联队第3大队第8中队由大队长清水节郎少佐率领，荷枪实弹开往紧靠卢沟桥中国守军驻地的回龙庙到大瓦窑之间的地区。

Then the Japanese army began exercises in the area, and then the Japanese army claimed that a soldier was "missing" and immediately forcibly asked to enter Wanping City, where the Chinese garrison was stationed, for a search. The Japanese army immediately opened fire on the area around Lugou Bridge, attacking the Chinese defenders in the city.The 29th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 110th Army of the Chinese Defense Army fought back, which opened the prelude to China's all-out war of resistance against Japan.

After the Japanese army launched the July [-]th Incident, it aroused strong repercussions across the country.Chiang Kai-shek once called Song Zheyuan, Qin Dechun and others, instructing: "Wanping City should stick to it and not retreat", "Lugou Bridge and Changxindian must not be lost."

At the same time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a telegram to the whole country, appealing: "Compatriots, Pingjin is in danger! North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger! Only the whole nation's resistance war is our way out!"

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, the attack of the Japanese army was resisted by the Chinese squadron. Seeing that it was difficult to occupy the Marco Polo Bridge for the time being, the Japanese army conducted "on-the-spot negotiations".

"Negotiations on the spot" allowed the Japanese army to gain time to increase its troops in North China. At the same time, it also blinded the Hebei-Chahar authorities and delayed the preparation of the 29th Army to deploy troops to meet the battle.By July 7, the number of Japanese troops assembled in Pingjin had reached more than 25.

After the combat deployment of Japan's North China Garrison was basically completed, the Langfang incident and the Guang'anmen incident were created on July 7 and 25.

On the afternoon of the 26th, the North China Garrison issued an ultimatum to the 29th Army, demanding that all Chinese defenders withdraw from the Pingjin area before the 28th, otherwise they will take action.He was rejected by Song Zheyuan, and on the 27th, he announced to the whole country that he would be resolutely defending the soil and resisting the war.On the same day, with the approval of the Emperor, the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters ordered the Japanese North China Garrison to launch an attack on the 29th Army, and added about 5 people from five domestic divisions to China, and issued a formal operation to the Commander of the North China Garrison, Kazuki Kiyoshi. Mission: "Responsible for the crusade against the squadron in the Pingjin area." The bloody battle in Pingjin is inevitable.

7月28ri上午，ri军按预定计划向北平发动总攻。ri军陆军中将香月清司指挥已云集到北平周围的朝鲜军第20师团、关东军du li混成第1、第11旅团，中国驻屯军步兵旅团约1万人，在100余门大炮和装甲车配合、数十架飞机掩护下，向驻守在北平西郊的南苑、北苑、西苑的中国第29军第132、37、38师发起全面攻击。

The horn of war has sounded, and people from all walks of life across the country have united unprecedentedly under the rampant attack of the Japanese army. The time for the whole nation to resist the war is ripe.

Not long after, the Nationalist government followed the spirit of the National Defense Conference and referred to the 1937 National Defense Operational Plan, drafted two documents, the "War Guidance Plan" and the "Operation Guidance Plan", and decided to set up a headquarters, with the Military Commission as the headquarters of the headquarters, pushing Chiang Kai-shek Zhongzheng was the generalissimo of the armed forces, Cheng Qian was the chief of staff, and Bai Chongxi was the deputy chief of staff, leading the national war of resistance.

Later, the Nationalist government issued the order of battle for the whole army, dividing the country into five war zones, counted as: the first war zone (jurisdiction area: the Ping-Han and Jinpu railway lines), the commander-in-chief Jiang Zhongzheng (concurrently), under the jurisdiction of the first and second , No.14 Group Army, with Song Zheyuan, Liu Zhi and Wei Lihuang as the commander-in-chief of the group army, consisting of 36 divisions, 7 brigades and 4 regiments.

Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater (Areas under jurisdiction: Jin, Cha, and Sui), has jurisdiction over the Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Reserve Army. Yang Aiyuan and Fu Zuoyi are the commanders-in-chief of the army respectively, with a total of 13 divisions, 16 brigades and 4 regiments.

Commander-in-Chief Feng Yuxiang of the Third War Zone (Areas of Jurisdiction: Jiangsu and Zhejiang) has the Eighth Army, Ninth Army, Tenth Army, and No.15 Army under his command. 18 divisions, 6 brigades and [-] regiments.

He Yingqin, Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth War Zone (Areas of Jurisdiction: Fujian and Guangdong), under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army and the No.12 Army, with Jiang Dingwen and Yu Hanmou as the commander-in-chief of the Army respectively, with a total strength of 13 divisions and 3 brigades.

The Fifth Theater (Area of ​​Jurisdiction: Lu) Commander Jiang Zhongzheng, Deputy Commander Han Fuqu, under the jurisdiction of the Third Army and the Fifth Army, with Han Fuqu and Gu Zhutong as the commander-in-chief of the army respectively, with a total strength of [-] divisions and a brigade .

In addition to the five war zones, four reserve armies were established, namely the first reserve army with the Guangxi army as the main force, stationed in Guangxi.The Second Reserve Army, with the Sichuan Army as the main force, is stationed in Sichuan.The third reserve army, with the Dian army as the main force, is stationed in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.The Fourth Reserve Army, composed of the Hunan Army and other provincial troops, was stationed in several provinces in Hunan and Hubei.

In addition, the Ma Jiajun in the three provinces of Ningxia, Qinghai, and Gansu have also received orders and are ready to go to the front line at any time.

According to the war zone division of the national government, Chen Feng and his security regiment belonged to the battle order of the second theater, to be precise, belonged to the battle order of the seventh army in the second theater, and the supreme commander was Fu Zuoyi.

On August 8, the Seventh Army sent an urgent telegram, ordering the Xinghe County Security Corps to reorganize immediately into the Third Reserve Team of the Seventh Army, which was under the jurisdiction of the Suiyuan Security Command. Commander, Li Wensheng is the deputy captain of the lieutenant colonel of the reserve team, and Yang Yi is the chief of staff of the major.

At the same time, the headquarters of the Seventh Army ordered the reserve team to do a good job in the training of the troops, waiting for the command of the headquarters at any time, and going to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.

After receiving the order, Chen Feng immediately held a battalion-level military meeting to convey Shangfeng's order.

Chen Feng knew that no one would pay attention to his security team now, and these orders were just a routine of the Seventh Army.This can be seen by looking at the number of the troops. What is the reserve team? The reserve team will only let you join if there is really no other way.

This meeting was the first general military meeting since the establishment of the Security Corps. All battalion-level military cadres from the three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Chen Feng first read out the order of the Seventh Army Headquarters, and then Chen Feng informed all the officers of the successive events in China since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 7.

"Brothers, the Japanese bandits are rampant, and they invade China. When the country is in peril, the duty of our soldiers is to defend the country and drive out the Japanese bandits. Poor international governance is the fault of politicians. If we can't defend the country, it is us. It is a shame to be a soldier. I, Chen Feng, swear here that I will fight against the Japanese invaders for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, the heavens and the earth will not tolerate it!"

"You are all relatives and brothers of my Chen Feng. There are some things I will not hide from you. There is a huge difference in strength between the enemy and us. A few days ago, the deputy commander of the 29th Army, General Tong Linge, and the commander of the 132nd Division, Lieutenant General Zhao Dengyu, died heroically in the battle against Japan. Maybe after a battle, many of us here will never be able to see the sun again the next day, so if that person is afraid of losing his life, I, Chen Feng, will give him a chance. Put down your weapons, and I, Chen Feng, will give him a thousand oceans. Send him out of the army and go home to be a rich man, do you have any, please raise your hand?"

Chen Feng looked around for a week and saw that no one had raised their hands, so his voice suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "No one quits, well, since everyone is a good man and is willing to serve the country and the nation, then I will announce that our security guards The regiment's five battlefield prohibitions: first, surrender to the enemy and traitorous country, collaborating with the enemy and rebels, kill! Second, disobey orders on the battlefield and delay the opportunity of the war, kill! Third, abandon troops and flee, lose the position, kill! Fourth, harm the people and rob property , kill! Fifth, rape women, corrupt military discipline, kill!"

Chen Feng spoke these five prohibitions very slowly, but firmly. All the officers had no doubts about Chen Feng's determination to enforce the discipline on the battlefield. Everyone felt awe-inspiring.

"Since the brothers all want to be heroes, then don't make things difficult for this commander. Even if he is about to die, we must die dignifiedly, clearly and well, and die well. If any one of them is subject to battlefield discipline for violating the above five prohibitions , Don’t say it’s my Chen Feng’s brother, have you heard clearly?”

"Listen clearly, live to be a hero, and die to be a hero, fight the sun and kill the enemy, and serve the country!"
