Glorious Mission 1937

But that's the end of the matter, just because the security team is all new recruits, and the training is all bayonet fighting with their own people, and they haven't really experienced on the battlefield, and the Jingwei platoon is all veterans. Soldiers, the number of times they went to the battlefield to fight bayonets has gone, so they overwhelmed the security team for a while.

But with the passage of time, the security team has recovered. Even though the enemy is outnumbered now, the soldiers of the security team are fighting more and more smoothly, and they cooperate very well. After a while, they overwhelmed the Jingwei There are seven or eight people in a row.

The security regiment's bayonet fighting technique was taught by Chen Feng himself. He learned it from an old general who had participated in the War of Resistance. It is a fatal move with a single blow, and the fighting ability of the soldiers of the security regiment is very powerful.

Another half an hour passed. Seeing the fallen soldiers on both sides, Bai Degong's face became more and more ugly. So far, there are only six people left on the battlefield, three on each side.

But anyone could tell that the three soldiers of the security regiment were as imposing as a rainbow, while the three soldiers of the Jingwei platoon were panting and looked like they were at the end of their battle. The victory or defeat was already obvious.Besides, in the identity of the Jingwei platoon, fighting with the security team to this point is considered a loss.

"Commander Chen, there's no need to compete, we lost." Bai Degong said with a sigh.

"There are still three people on both sides, so it's a tie!" Chen Feng said.

After the team competition was over, there was an individual competition. Perhaps in order to save face from the team competition, this person, Sai Bai Degong, actually took action himself.

For the security team, Chen Feng sent out his guard, Chen Tiebao. This Chen Tiebao grew up with Chen Feng. Unlike Chen Feng, who was looking for flowers, asking willows to eat, drink and have fun, this Chen Tiebao practiced kung fu with the masters of the Chen family since he was a child, and his basic skills were very solid. He has also practiced a good mouthful of hard qigong, and can break seven or eight large green bricks with one palm.

Later, he trained with Chen Feng again, playing with hot and cold weapons very smoothly.If he hadn't insisted on staying by Chen Feng's side, he would be the captain of the Special Forces or the second security regiment.

The result came out soon. Both of them were very strong in marksmanship, with the same five rings, and there was no winner.As for fighting, it took Chen Tiebao only 2 minutes to get Bai Degong down, and Bai Degong was convinced.

In the team competition, the security team had one victory and one draw, and the results of the individual competition were also the same. After all, the competition between the security team and the Jingwei company was a complete victory.

Li Jingyuan was very happy. Although he recommended Chen Feng out of selfishness, but now his eldest nephew has done better than himself. With this security team alone, Chen Feng might not be able to get reused.

Li Jingyuan left, and when he left, he told Chen Feng that the chairman and Yan Zhangguan were going to stop the Japanese army at Zhangjiakou and Nankou, and Xinghe was not far from Zhangjiakou, and he might receive an order to move out at any time, so he should be ready.

Li Jingyuan's words reminded Chen Feng that it was already August 8th, and there were only three or four days before the official start of the Battle of Nankou.

Historically, the No. 13 Army, the most elite of the national government, was stationed at Nankou, and its commander was Tang Enbo, a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek.Although the Battle of Nankou ended with the active retreat of the squadron, it is still a glorious page in the history of the War of Resistance.

In this campaign, the Japanese army and the Japanese army fought bloody battles for nearly [-] days, which seriously injured the Japanese bandits, disrupted the Japanese bandits' combat plan, and shattered the myth of "the fall of China in March".

The Battle of Nankou and the Battle of Songhu that took place at that time showed that the Japanese imperialists' plot to invade and occupy the whole of China had been fully exposed. Chiang Kai-shek was determined to switch from fighting to a war of resistance. Therefore, he became more active in the issue of the KMT-CPC cooperation in the war of resistance that had been negotiated for more than a year. , finally accepted our party's "Declaration for Publishing the KMT-CPC Cooperation", and finally promoted the formal formation of the second KMT-CPC cooperation.

But Chen Feng also knew.The Battle of Nankou did not go well, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.By the day when the No. 13 Army withdrew, more than half of the troops on the Nankou front had suffered heavy casualties.During the period, the position changed hands several times, which was extremely dangerous.

The Battle of Nankou Chen Feng knew that the security team might not be able to help, but after the Battle of Nankou ended, the Japanese army opened the door to march into Chahar, Suiyuan, and northern Shanxi. At that time, Xinghe County will not be spared, and it is time for the security team to take action.

As Chen Feng knew, from August 8th when the No. 8 mixed brigade forward entered the Nankou forward position and launched an offensive, until August 11th, Itagaki Seishiro ordered the Japanese fifth division and No. 8 brigade to attack The army on the front line of Nankou launched a full-scale offensive, and then the Kwantung Army Chahar sent a corps to capture Zhangjiakou, Liu Ruming's No. Neither change.

As soon as Tang Enbo's No.13 Army withdrew, Itagaki Seishiro ordered the troops to follow up and attack, and joined forces with Chahar's dispatched corps.Xuanhua, Huailai, Yanqing Binglongguan, Chicheng, Deshengkou, Badaling, Huanglaoyuan, Xianrendong, Hengling City to the east of Zhangjiakou, and all dangerous towns in the north bank of the Sanggan River were all lost.

On August 8, the headquarters of the Japanese Army revoked the designation of the Chinese Garrison Army, and organized it into the North China Front Army, with the commander of the Temple Shouichi as the commander. 31 Brigade (Suzuki Shigeyasu), Temporary Aviation Corps.

After occupying the towns along Pingsui Road, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the North China Front Army to attack the North China Squadron in four directions.The first route was led by Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, commanding four infantry brigades and two detachments of the Kwantung Army Chahar Dispatched Corps with a total of 5 people. Zhangjiakou sent troops to launch an offensive along the western section of Pingsui Road. Pointing directly at Suiyuan and northern Shanxi.

The commander of the second route, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzao, led three divisions and one infantry brigade under the jurisdiction of the Second Army with a total of more than 9 people. Starting from Tianjin, he attacked southward along the Jinpu line, and the soldiers pointed directly at Song Zheyuan. Cangzhou where the Ministry is stationed.

Lieutenant General Xiang Yueqing, the commander of the First Army of the Third Route, led the three brigades under the command of the First Army, attacked from Beiping, crossed the Yongding River, and attacked along the Pinghan Road. *Team.

As for the fourth route, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, head of the Fifth Division, led the attack along Pingsui Road Xuanhuahuailai, all the way west, threatening the Shanxi flank, and supporting Tojo Hideki's troops.

According to the strategic forecast of Terauchi Shouichi, the four-way army is dominated by the First Army of Kazuki Kiyoshi. Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro should move as close as possible to Baoding when they go south and west, and support the First Army at any time against Liu Zhi's troops. For the battle, Terauchi Shouichi demanded a two-month period for a quick battle to wipe out all the squadrons in North China and end the war in North China.

After receiving the order from the front army, Hideki Tojo was overjoyed, and immediately led Chahar to dispatch nine cavalry divisions, the main force of the corps and the puppet Mongolian army Li Shouxin's subordinates. The counties, together with Chaigou Fort, Xuanjiata, and Xinping Fort, were successively occupied by the Japanese army. Hideki Tojo's troops were so powerful that they traveled day and night, and they reached the city of Tianzhen on September 9.

Tianzhen is located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, at the junction of Shanxi, Sui and Cha, with Datong in the southwest, Jining in the northwest, Zhangjiakou in the northeast, and Yu County in the southeast. The geographical location is extremely important.Tianzhen is weak, the gate of northern Shanxi is open, and Suiyuan has lost its barrier.

In order to ensure that Tianzhen is safe, Yan Xishan personally ordered Li Yingying's No. 60 First Army to defend Tianzhen.And he personally called Li Fuying: "Jin-Sui is my foundation, and it is based in Shanxi. Tianzhen, the hub of the Great Wall line, guards the throat of the Ping-Sui line. Taking Jining, you can hit Yanggao in the southwest and go down to Datong, then bypass Yanmen Pass, go south to Yingzhou, Daizhou, Xinkou, and then go straight to Taiyuan. At that time, the two provinces of Jin and Sui will be lost, and you and I will die without a place to die. You must be careful, defend with all your strength, and wait for reinforcements."

........

Xinghe, Security Command.

"Chief of Staff, where is the Japanese Army now?" Chen Feng asked.

"Report to the commander, the vanguard of the Japanese army has arrived at Wang Hutun, and an infantry squadron of the Japanese army captured Xinping Fort yesterday afternoon." Yang Yi replied.

"Wang Hutun is [-] kilometers east of Tianzhen, and Xinping Fort is [-] kilometers north of Tianzhen. If these two places are lost, the Japanese army will be able to reach the city of Tianzhen!" said the head of the first security regiment. Li Wensheng frowned and said.

"Is Li Fuying's No.60 Army stationed in Tianzhen?" Chen Feng frowned and asked.

"Yes!"

"That would be bad!" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter, Commander?" Li Wensheng looked at Chen Feng and frowned, and asked hastily.

"You don't know that Li Fuying's No.60 Army was reorganized from the 68th Division that Li Fuying led before. It is said to be an army, but its strength is only one division and one brigade. In terms of the strength of both the enemy and us, Li Fuying's troops The strength of the army is far from that of the Japanese army. The most important thing is that Seishiro Itagaki's Fifth Division has now arrived in Yuxian County, and Liu Ruming's troops in Yuxian County have become frightened. How can they resist the mighty Fifth Division? The regiment, it won't be long before Hunyuan and Guangling are in the pockets of the Japanese army. At that time, Commander Yan will not have the mind to go to Tianzhen, so Li Fuying's 61st Army is actually a lone army , with the strength of his army against the enemy's [-] Japanese bandits, then Tianzhen will be lost." Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

In history, when the Japanese army attacked Tianzhen, Yan Xishan proposed the so-called Battle of Datong, but in fact this so-called battle was just an excuse Yan Xishan used to evade Chiang Kai-shek's central yang army from entering Shanxi, and Yan Xishan didn't take it seriously at all. Prepare.

Later, after the Japanese army under Li Fuying fought fiercely in Tianzhen for 7 days and nights, the troops suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw. Chahar sent a corps to capture Tianzhen County, and then won Datong without a fight.It took another few days to go down to Yanggao, Fengzhen, Xinghe, Julebao, Zhoushizhuang and other counties and towns, and the north of Shanxi and the south of Suinan were completely lost.Later Li Fuying was shot by Yan Xishan for abandoning his position.

Li Wensheng and Yang Yi gesticulated on the map for a while, and finally raised their heads to look at Chen Feng, their eyes full of worry.They all know the geographical location of the town today, and its importance is self-evident.

"Commander, what should we do then?" Yang Yi asked.

"Reinforce Tianzhen!" Chen Feng said loudly.
