blood feud

"Since this is the case, there is no need to make this call!" Song Zheyuan had already understood some content from the conversation between Feng Zhian and Liu Zizhen, so he said with a gloomy face: "He Yingqin's hand is too long, mobilizing a brigade, unexpectedly I don’t even say hello to you, the teacher. Let him deal with the Japanese, we just pretend to be deaf and dumb.”

"Army seat, division seat, you should hurry up and think of a way!" Liu Zizhen is most anxious, if there are no two regiments, his brigade commander will not exist: "Those two regiments are my lifeblood. ah!"

"Just burn the incense!" Feng Zhi'an said with a smile, "I dare not say to others, Dong Guoqiang's regiment has been the iron fist of my Seventeenth Division from today! Hehe, Zhao Shunchen, Zhao Shunchen (Zhao Dengyu) , word Shunchen), I can shake twice now!"

Liu Zizhen was still a little apprehensive: "Could it be possible for my two regiments to come back?"

"Dong Guoqiang and Zhao Dengshun are sworn brothers!" Feng Zhi'an looked at Liu Zizhen and said, "From this relationship, what can you think of?"

Liu Zizhen suddenly became excited: "What the teacher means is that Commander Zhao's fifth regiment fought a big defeat with the Jehol Front Army, and then brought back a cannon battalion. Could it be that Dong Guoqiang will bring it back to me if he loses a battle?" Can't heavy weapons work?"

Unlike General Feng Zhi'an and others who talked about their team easily, He Yingqin's scalp has already started to tingle.Because Tada Jun not only made three consecutive phone calls to question the No.20 Ninth Army's participation in the siege of Tianjin, but also sent a special telegram.

Tada Hayao emphasized that the true meaning of this telegram is to be well-documented, and he is ready to submit an application for sanctions to the Prime Minister's cabinet, and impose the most severe sanctions on the southern government, including the use of powerful force in Shanghai and North China, to ensure that the empire Interests are not infringed.

He Yingqin originally wanted to put all the responsibilities on Song Yuanzhe and Feng Zhian, and then logically reorganized the 29th Army and took over the command power directly.Unexpectedly, Song Zheyuan moved faster and directly forwarded the original text of the two telegrams from Dong Guoqiang.

Everyone is in Beiping city, is it necessary to send a telegram?Of course it is necessary, and too necessary!

Song Zheyuan's meaning is very clear: the mobilization of troops to pinch the Jehol Front Army was arranged by you, Minister He, and the top leaders of the 29th Army did not participate at all.Now that there is a mistake, you have to solve it yourself, the old man. We, the current subordinates, can't do anything.I am afraid that in the future, what we say will be unfounded, we will use words as evidence today!

As for He Yingqin's accusation that the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were collaborating with bandits, Song Zheyuan said bluntly: The two telegrams from the head of Dong Guoqiang clearly stated that they started fighting fiercely from 07 o'clock in the afternoon until 30:[-] in the evening. Liang Jue was forced to surrender.The whole process was witnessed by the Japanese guards in Langfang Town, and no one could lie in broad daylight.

Besides, from the end of the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), our 29th Army, like the Ministry of National Defense, applied for the immediate distribution of military pay, weapons and ammunition. Now more than a year has passed, and there is still no news.The entire 29th Army was naked, hungry, and each gun had less than ten rounds of bullets.If our soldiers could have a few more bullets, how could they have fallen into this situation?

Song Zheyuan found a witness—the Japanese army of two squads at the Langfang checkpoint!Because Dong Guoqiang has made it very clear in the telegram that the Jehol Front Army killed them and the Japanese, so you can ask the Japanese directly.

What kind of witness is this?This is a dead witness!

After a verbal lawsuit, He Yingqin became speechless.At the beginning, Song Zheyuan was encouraged to take over Feng Yuxiang to take the lead, and let the Northwest Army accept the unified reorganization of the central government.And vowed to ensure everything, until now none of them have been fulfilled.If talking too much causes the Northwest Army to collapse, whether he can retreat fully is still in doubt.

In any case, the two regiments of the 29th Army were ordered to dispatch, which cannot be concealed.Two regiments were taken prisoner, which is considered a fact at present.However, the Northwest Army's participation in the siege of Tianjin mentioned by Hayao Tada is definitely half possible.

According to He Yingqin's understanding, since the two regiments were captured, they would definitely be taken care of together.Now the team of the Rehe Front Army is not far from the west gate of Tianjin, so it is reasonable for the captured soldiers to be there as well.Therefore, the Northwest Army should have participated in the "encirclement", not the "attack".

"No, this is a political issue, as well as an international issue. You have to send someone over there to take a look! Now everyone seems to know what's going on, so I'm the only one kept in the dark."

He Yingqin was worried that this matter would be exposed and affect his position in the central government.In the past two years, because of the "Tanggu Agreement", he had been dismissed for a year, and he was just reinstated at the end of last year.If it happened again, Chen Cheng would definitely make trouble and replace him.

Who should I send?Originally, Zhang Yueting was the best candidate, but he didn't expect that he didn't return to Peiping after going out last time. It is said that he went to Shimen to inspect military affairs.

He Yingqin suddenly thought of a good candidate: Pan Yugui!

This person is completely speaking for the Japanese, and under the repeated emphasis of Kenji Doihara, he is now the director of the political affairs department of the newly established "Jicha Political Affairs Committee" with Song Zheyuan as the chairman.If he was asked to observe the situation in Tianjin, he would definitely not help the Jehol Front Army speak well, so it would be possible to find out the truth!

Unexpectedly, as soon as Pan Yugui left Beiping, Song Zheyuan sent someone to send an urgent telegram to He Yingqin: "The cavalry brigade of the Sixth Division of the Guisui Japanese Army has moved south from Bashang, and the next two infantry brigades have also set off. , the target is the Zhangbei line. Ask for instructions on the enemy's strategy, Zhao Dengyu."

Zhangbei County is located in a key point, with the world-famous "Bashang Grassland" to the north, where you can have a panoramic view of the Saibei scenery.To the south is the famous "Wild Fox Ridge Military Fortress" in history!Yehuling has been a military fortress since ancient times, and it is a battleground for military strategists, so it is called "Ji Chong".

In August 1211, Genghis Khan personally led 8 Mongolian iron cavalry to attack the Bashang grassland, pointing his sword at the Central Plains area ruled by the Jin Dynasty.There was a shocking battle with 10 Jin soldiers in Yehuling, and the main force of the Jin Kingdom was wiped out.It became a turning point in the early stage of the Mongolian-Golden War, thus determining the development pattern of "Mengqi Jinjin Decline".

It is said that in ancient times, there were groups of deer and wolves, and groups of wild foxes, so it was called Yehuling.The wild fox mountain is high and steep, and the wind is fierce.Unofficial history records that when wild geese fly over here, they will be blown down when encountering strong winds, so it is also called "Heifengkou".

Yehuling is surrounded by lofty mountains on both sides, and there is only a winding passage in the middle, which communicates the political, economic and military exchanges between the grassland people and the Central Plains.

The little devil has worked hard for decades, and he has already made various plans for how to win North China.

The northeast gate of North China is Chengde, but it is a pity that it is now occupied by the devil Bai Shujie.The northwest gate of North China is Zhangbei County, also known as the "Yehuling Fortress"! The "Tanggu Agreement" stipulates that the southern army "must withdraw from Chicheng and west of Yanqing", which is to let the "Yehuling Fortress" enter North China!

The most beneficial reference is the "Battle of Wild Fox Ridge" where Genghis Khan defeated the Kingdom of Jin!As long as the Yehuling Fortress is taken down, Zhangjiakou's north gate fortifications will be vulnerable to 105mm and 150mm heavy artillery, and it will basically be over.That is to say, in the mind of the little devil, North China is already in his pocket if he wins the "Wild Fox Ridge Fortress".

Both the enemy and the enemy know the strategic position of Zhangbei County. Therefore, General Zhao Dengyu, who once killed the little devil, is here to guard the 132nd Division personally. The headquarters of the 132nd Division is located in Zhangbei County!The Longmen Office is the 112th Brigade under General Zhang Zizhong.

Two fierce tigers blocked the Zhangbei Passage, and the Northwest Gate of North China became an iron gate. If the whole country united against Japan, it would be tantamount to a dream for the little devil to easily pry open the passage to North China!Therefore, the little devil's Kwantung Army was extremely annoyed by Song Zheyuan's tit-for-tat formation.

On January 1 last year, Mori Ichiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army stationed in Heihe (East of Guyuan, Chasu Province), distributed a "Warning Statement to the Song Zheyuan Army Stationed in Longmen" in Chadong, saying that the troops stationed in Longmen violated the treaty and should Retreat to the west of Chicheng Yanqing, otherwise immediately attack and sweep.

On September 9 last year, Song Zheyuan brought Tang Yulin, the "General Counselor", to Peiping. On October 1, Zhao Dengyu's headquarters stationed in Zhangbei County, Chahar, had a dispute with the little devil's military attache and secretary who deliberately came to find fault.This is the so-called first Zhangbei incident.

On January 1935 this year (1), the Little Devil’s Kwantung Army once again issued a statement, declaring that if the commander of the Zhangbei County Garrison was not immediately replaced and the garrison was not withdrawn from Longmen Station, it would "categorically wipe out the Song Zheyuan Army."

He Yingqin received an urgent telegram from Zhao Dengyu, knowing that the Little Devil's Sixth Division was rushing towards Zhang Bei, and immediately became at a loss.

Fighting, with Zhao Dengyu and Zhang Zizhong in command, it is naturally impossible for the Japanese Sixth Division to break through Zhangjiakou alone.But in doing so, it violated Generalissimo Chiang's order that "those who talk too much against the Japanese will be killed without mercy."

If you don't fight, you can only retreat.Wouldn't it be okay to give up Zhangjiakou to the Japanese Sixth Division?If the Japanese Sixth Division occupied Shijiazhuang, wouldn't North China be lost?

Let's not mention He Yingqin's panic when he pressed it.

It's said that after Pan Yugui left Beiping City, he couldn't move forward even half a step when he went east to Langfang!Because the checkpoint in Langfang was replaced, a bright red banner was seen from a long distance: "The First Battalion of the Rao'an Independent Regiment of the Jehol Front Army"!It was Zhang Erleng's troops stationed here that blocked the passage from Peiping to Tianjin.

Pan Yugui has a mission, and now she can only bite the bullet and deal with the special situation in front of her.He didn't get off the car, so he asked his adjutant to come forward to say hello.

The sentry heard about the "Jicha Political Affairs Committee" and the political director, but they didn't know what it was, so they called Battalion Commander Zhang Erlen in the town to ask for instructions.Zhang Erlen didn't know who Pan Yugui was, so he had to send a telegram to Wei Chong to report.

Just like this, in order to find out who this Pan Yugui was and whether he would accept him or not, the telegram had already arrived at Bai Shujie's desk.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
