blood feud

Thinking of Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, and Zhao Dengshun who died heroically for the country, Bai Shujie couldn't help but feel sad, full of heroism, and wrote a poem of Qijue to express his condolences:

When the country is in ruins, there are great sages who pour their hearts out to the heavens; the spirits of loyal martyrs are there, and the souls of Japanese pirates fly to kneel to the nine springs.

"Chengde Frontline Daily" published the inscription of Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie, at the same time, comprehensively reported the battle process of the "Nanyuan Bloody Battle", and published a commentator's article, questioning the process of this battle:

"After the powerful Japanese invaders crossed the sea, they came from Tianjin and Langfang, crossed three lines of defense to attack Nanyuan, and didn't waste a single shot on the way. Why?"

"Tong Linge and General Zhao Dengyu have completed the tactical layout, but the relevant parties withdrew from the 37th Division of the Beiping Garrison and transferred them to Beiping to defend the city. What is the reason for this?"

"Since Song Zheyuan had already ordered the 37th Division to retreat, why didn't the 38th Division and the 132nd Division receive an order to retreat? Instead, one entered the city to take over the defense, while the other stayed put. He did not hesitate to harm his own soldiers for his own selfishness. Poison too,"

"General Zhao Dengyu fought bloody battles in Nanyuan, and finally his entire army was wiped out. The friendly army was close at hand, but he watched thousands of comrades in arms shed blood for a long time from the enemy's rear. Fighting alone under enemy fire, what are you doing,"

"Since ancient times, there has been a motto of 'you will not accept the fate of the emperor'. Seeing your robes fall one by one in the artillery fire, you can also feel at ease. Let's not talk about national righteousness, just talk about the brotherhood in daily life. How can I bear it, "

"The disgrace of a soldier is forged in this way with your own flesh and blood. You will bear the infamy of thousands of generations. Without your own blood, you will never be able to wash it away. Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu, two generals, will live forever, and you will be stigmatized forever."

Grief cannot solve the problem, and the situation Bai Shujie is now facing is even more severe.

Because of some of the previous plans, it was based on the fact that General Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division could leave Nanyuan safely and then stand west of the Yongding River.

In this case, there is a division of Wei Chong in the east and a division of Zhao Dengyu in the west. Under the attack from both sides, plus Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division in the outskirts of Tianjin with more than 20 people, the No. [-] Division of the Little Devil can be defeated. Press firmly in place, and finally "divide and eat".

Unexpectedly, history has its own inherent laws of operation, which are not shifted by personal will at all. Now that Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division has lost its commander, the troops scattered in other places cannot be gathered for a while, let alone combat effectiveness.

Don't even think about Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division, unless the little devil wants to swallow Dong Shengtang's 114th Brigade and Liu Zhensan's 113th Brigade, the so-called "Tianjin Counterattack" will occur.

The so-called "Tianjin counterattack" was completely self-inflicted by Zhang Zizhong. If he had made up his mind to fight to the death from the beginning, and joined hands with Zhao Dengyu's 132nd division to form a horn of each other, he would be able to attack and defend freely.

After entrapping Zhao Dengyu, the 38th Division became a lone army.

Let the No.20 Division and the First Mixed Brigade of the Little Devils come in. After the loss of Nanyuan, the west side is dead. Now the Fifth and Sixth Divisions of the Little Devils have landed in Qinhuangdao and Tanggu respectively. The No.14 Division The regiment has entered Zhangjiakou.

Zhang Zizhong looked back and saw that Dong Shengtang's 114th Brigade and Liu Zhensan's 113th Brigade had been surrounded by the little devil's lips, and he panicked.

It is a pity that it is too late now, and a greater disaster has finally come, and the fall of Pingjin is just around the corner.

At midnight on July 1937, 7, Zhang Zizhong finally discovered the seriousness of the problem.

Ruan Xuanwu's independent 38th Brigade of the 39th Division was stationed at the Yellow Temple in the north of Beiping City. Now that Nanyuan is lost, the North China Garrison Army will move northward.

The original Xia Ziming brigade adapted by Liu Guitang still stays in Zhangjiakou, and now it has been swept away by the No.14 division of the little devil and disappeared, and there is no energy to manage them for the time being.

However, the absolute main forces of the 38th Division, Dong Shengtang's 114th Brigade and Liu Zhensan's 113th Brigade, are now under heavy siege by the enemy, unable to move an inch, and are in danger.

If there were no outside support troops, the three brigades mentioned above would all be straws, as long as a match would be wiped out. If the above three brigades were gone, the 38th Division would cease to exist.

Zhang Zizhong's active troops now are Li Zhiyuan's 60th Brigade stationed in Machang Town, 26 kilometers south of Tianjin, and Huang Weigang's 30th Brigade stationed in a small station 112 kilometers southeast of Tianjin.

Li Zhiyuan's independent 26th Brigade in Machang Town, the main task is to defend the Jinpu Railway; Huang Weigang's 112th Brigade is mainly to defend the coastal line of Tanggu, Dagu, and Xiaozhan.

Because of this, once these two troops are used, it means abandoning Tianjin, so the "Tianjin counterattack" that later generations call it is purely self-deception.

To the west of Little Devil, there are the No.20 Division, the First Mixed Brigade, and the No.14 Division that is about to arrive, and the Fifth and Sixth Divisions to the east are already approaching the city.

A mere 38th Division can pull out any waves, but it is just to make up for previous mistakes and struggle desperately to rescue the three trapped brigades.

In just one day, the entire Pingjin line collapsed. If I had known today, why bother.

Anyone who is a normal person knows that Zhang Zizhong wants to save his three brigades. Is the little devil a fool? Of course not, otherwise, the little devil is also qualified to become the most vicious enemy of the entire Chinese nation.

Therefore, the so-called "Tianjin Counterattack" started from Huang Weigang's 112th Brigade at Xiaozhan.

1937年7月28日午夜,第112旅224团张宗衡团长接到旅座大人黄维刚的命令：

"The 224rd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment stationed in Lushuigu immediately left its original location and rushed to Tianjin to fight. The [-]st Battalion stationed in Gegu sent troops across the river to Junliangcheng, destroying the railway tracks on Beining Road and blocking Japanese transportation. , "

Don't you, Zhang Zizhong, want to take out the 112th brigade to rescue your main force? Okay, you are just about to take action here, and the little devils are the first to attack here, and the Tianjin counterattack begins.

At 7 a.m. on July 29, the little devil's warship moored off the coast of Tanggu suddenly fired at the Dagu line, bombing the fortifications on the Tanggu, Dagu, and Gegu lines.

Head of the regiment Zhang Zongheng ordered the first battalion stationed in Gegu to rush to the vicinity of Taohuawu to prepare for the Dagu troops to fight.

However, the enemy was using warship cannons and armored motorboats to patrol the Dagu River that day, but the infantry never appeared, let alone crossed the river to attack.

It was later found out that the little devil was just trying to hold back Huang Weigang's 112th brigade.

Of course, Commander Zhang Zongheng was only a mid-level and lower-level officer, and he didn't know anything about the upper-level affairs. He didn't even know that General Zhao Dengyu had died for his country.

At the same time, Zhang Zongheng, the head of the 224 regiment, was not an afterthought, so he didn't understand the real purpose of the little devil.

All Zhang Zongheng could do was to avoid the shells that flew over from time to time, and at the same time closely monitor the little devil's movement to prevent the little devil from sneaking into his defense line.

Before dusk, the enemy used super-large-caliber naval guns to bombard the vicinity of the Tiemao Bridge on the warships outside Dagukou.

At this moment, Commander Zhang Zongheng finally understood: "Fucking hell, you little devil is trying to cut off Lao Tzu's retreat and prevent the entire army from retreating."

At the same time, the troops of the 38th Division in Tianjin, Langfang, Dagu, Huangsi and other places attacked the little devils in front of them at the same time, then fled across the road, and retreated to the Machang area one after another.

张宗衡的224团完成掩护任务以后,7月29日下午转移到葛沽集中,休息一夜之后,7月30日到达小站集中,7月31日在小站休息,8月1日沿北碱河经过马厂到大城布防。

Li Wentian, the deputy commander of the 38th Division, saw the situation was rotten, so he had to lead Li Zhiyuan's 26th Independent Brigade to launch a final counterattack against the enemy in front of him. He once captured the Japanese Army's Dongjuzi Airport and blew up all the planes. It would be nice to come here for a while before Zhao Dengyu died,) In the end, the casualties were heavy and he was forced to retreat.

On July 7, Ruan Xuanwu, commander of the 30th Independent Brigade in Beiyuan and Huangsi, saw that there was no way out, so he simply raised his hands and said, "I surrender."

The defeat was decided, Zhang Zizhong hid in the German hospital and dared not come out, and Peiping fell.

Subsequently, all the remnants of the 38th Division retreated to the south of the Jiahe River, all the Pingjin lines fell, and the "Tianjin Counterattack" ended.

As mentioned above, Bai Shujie knows that the inherent history cannot be changed, so he has already laid the groundwork before, and he is waiting for this day.

At midnight on July 1937, 7, Zhang Zongheng's 29th Regiment received an order to withdraw its defenses, and then quickly shrunk the defense line, and then concentrated the troops and moved to Gegu.

The large army suddenly left their position, and there would naturally be a gap. The four companies of the reconnaissance battalion that Wei Chong had prepared a long time ago seemed to pass through Zhang Zongheng's defensive position, and then concealed themselves in Tanggu, Dagu, etc. , Gegu line.

Bai Shujie had given clear instructions half a year ago: Wei Chong must remove the production lines in Tangda Gun Bureau and Dagu Shipbuilding before the little devil enters Dagu.

Friends who are familiar with the military know that during this period, the highest level of imitation of Czech light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns in China was Tangda Gun Bureau and Dagu Shipyard.

At that time, whether it was the national army or the local army, they all regarded the Czech-style light machine guns marked with the word "Taku" as treasures.

On the one hand, Bai Shujie took a fancy to the production line here; on the other hand, he took a fancy to the large amount of gun barrel steel accumulated here; and the Pegasus freighter docked on the Dagu River, which contained more than 1000 light and heavy machine guns and bullets. .

This batch of firearms later fell into the hands of the little devils, so a hundred thousand puppet troops were quickly formed, and then frantically swept all the corners and corners in Hebei.

The little devil did not get the Fengtian Ordnance Factory, so he specially sent heavy troops to keep an eye on it. The fifth division came here at the same time, and the first task was to "take Tanggu, Dagu, and Gegu safely".

Otherwise, all the naval guns of the little devil parked in Bohai Bay will open fire, and Tanggu, Dagu, and Gegu will inevitably be in flames, and Zhang Zongheng's 224th regiment will not be able to retreat completely.

It is said that Wei Chong's reconnaissance battalion successfully infiltrated, and soon got in touch with the team that had been hidden before.

Battalion Commander Chang Bikuan hurriedly summoned the four company commanders: "Our battle will start at twelve o'clock tonight, and the soldiers must be well concealed, and the target must not be exposed. If they are killed by Zhang Zongheng and the others, then It is a great injustice,"

After all, what happens next, let's see the next chapter to break it down,
