Chapter 473: Welcome Home (Part 11)
PS: I just saw the 50,000 big prize of "Ning Xiaojia" book friends, Fengyue was moved, and all the book friends have seen Fengyue today, I didn't say it, add more, and there will be a change later.
。。。。。。。。。。。
Liu Lang let go of the Sixth Division and went straight to the north of Rehe.
The remnants of the old opponent's Eighth Division are still lingering in the north of Rehe, but it is not something that Liu Lang and the three of them can shake.
Then you can only find helpers, and there are a lot of people Liu Lang is looking for.
He Yizhi, a double-faced spy who is still in the Great Wall regiment, provided him with a very important information, which reminded Liu Lang of the guy he had always admired, it turned out that he was still the same as in the time and space he used to be.
It is not so much that Liu Lang took two special forces to the north this time to constantly cause trouble for the Sixth Division, but that Liu Lang actually did it just because he wanted to go north to Rehe.
In other words, if Sakamoto Masaemon had set off a day late, Liu Lang would have had no time to ink with him here, and would have left a long time ago.
If you don't leave, the old opponent's Eighth Division will have to run away with enough food and drink.
Not to mention Liu Lang, the three of them rushed towards the north of Rehe in the starry night.
After the reconnaissance of Ling Hong and others, the main force of the Japanese army left a wing as a follow-up force and stationed it at Xifengkou for another day, and most of the rest of the troops had already gone to Chengde. Another day passed, and the infantry wing of the Japanese army, which served as the rear team, also left the pass one after another, and there was not a single Japanese soldier in the entire Xifengkou.
After waiting for another day and a night in Qinglong Mountain, more than 1,500 people from Chengde, two infantry battalions of the Great Wall Regiment and a baggage company from the artillery company left Qinglong Mountain and set off for Beiping.
At this time, Sakamoto Masaemon was being harassed by Liu Lang and the others, and he didn't know that there were not only 2,000 troops of the Great Wall Regiment but also nearly 20,000 ordinary people in Chengde in the Great Wall Mountain Range, and when he finally knew about Chengde, it was already too late.
The reason why Okamura Ningji sighed and said that this was the best opportunity to eliminate Liu Lang was referring to the 20,000 people of Chengde, if he had known earlier, the Great Wall Regiment would definitely be the turtle in his urn. It is terrible for a well-trained army to burrow into the mountains, but if it takes 20,000 people with it, it is undoubtedly self-tied, as long as the Sixth Division resolutely searches down, the 20,000 people who move slowly will definitely not be able to hide for too long, and correspondingly, the Great Wall Regiment that cannot lose the people will definitely not be able to escape the encirclement and suppression of nearly 40,000 troops.
By the time Sakamoto Masaemon and Okamura Ninji came to their senses, it was already four days later.
Under the escort of the whole army of the Great Wall Regiment, the huge crowd had already walked more than 200 miles, and they were all about to arrive in Beiping.
The Northern Military Council, which had already received the news, sent a small number of vehicles to help transport the people who had retreated from Rehe Province.
The day after the Great Wall Regiment set out, it sent a telegram to the Northern Military Council, and the number of civilians mentioned in the telegram almost did not scare General He, who was still in charge of the overall situation.
The Great Wall Regiment can fight, this Admiral He knows, but this retreat from Rehe to Pingjin with 20,000 people is not something that can be completed by fighting.
It was great courage and wisdom.
However, thinking about what the bold Liu Lang has done in the past month, what is the cowardice of the matter? Admiral He could only smile helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that the goods were sick and didn't come, he really wanted to see that bold guy immediately, last time in Songhu he couldn't personally put on the blue sky and white sun medal for the fat man, this time, there will be no regrets.
But a brief moment of surprise was followed by excitement, extreme excitement.
After sending the telegram to the old man in Nanchang, General He directly ordered that the telegram of the Great Wall Regiment be classified as a first-class secret, and that no one should report it to anyone except him.
It was not until another day later, when it was determined that the Great Wall regiment and the people had walked hundreds of miles and entered the defense area of more than 100,000 troops, that General He ordered all the cars that had been prepared to be dispatched to respond.
For security reasons, the Northern Military Council kept the news secret, but not only did it send its own few cars to help the people carry supplies and transport women, children, old and children, but even sent a brigade of the 29th Army to escort them.
It can be said that the Nationalist Government has never paid so much attention to the people of a fallen city, which has made the people of Chengde a little flattered.
But this is not the glory enjoyed by the people of Chengde and the Great Wall Regiment.
On the day before tens of thousands of people were about to arrive in Beiping, on the day when Masaemon Sakamoto and Ninji Okamura sighed at the Great Wall, all the newspapers and magazines in Beiping carried the same headline on the front page: Welcome home.
Yes, the Nationalist Government is promoting the retreat of the people of Chengde from Rehe to Pingjin with the greatest enthusiasm, and it can even be said that they are doing everything they can.
It is not that these 20,000 people deserve such fanfare from the Nationalist Government, for a population of 20,000 is a lot, but for China, with a population of 40,000, it is absolutely just a drop in the ocean. In the past two years, the number of displaced people who have fled from the north has far exceeded 20,000, and I have never seen the Nationalist Government so passionate, and even the porridge in the soup kitchen prepared for the displaced people can be seen in the shadows.
People, not the most important, is the meaning of its return, and more importantly, can divert attention.
Yes, Liu Lang, who was on the front line, didn't know what kind of public anger he had caused because he defeated the Eighth Division, and the Nationalist Government still signed the "Tanggu Agreement" as it had done in the past time and space.
If they could, several bigwigs even hoped that he Liu Lang had not won such a victory, and after a big defeat signed a humiliating treaty, they might suffer a little less saliva.
True, sad, but that's the reality, the brutal reality.
All acts of war must first and foremost serve the dirty so-called politics.
In the past time and space, the signing of the humiliating treaty after the defeat has made several bigwigs feel the spittle in the mouths of the boiling people in the air, not to mention that Liu Lang, who was born out of nowhere, has also played such a brilliant victory again and again this time.
The bigwigs have almost not been scolded to death by the literati in the past few days, and the people in one city after another have taken to the streets to demonstrate as much as drinking boiled water.
Especially in the north, in the largest city, Beiping, the demonstrators, led by the most radical students, even surrounded the office area of the Northern Military Council.
Admiral He hasn't been out for two days. If it weren't for the fact that there was also a division of the Central Division sitting in Beiping City, the door of General He's office would have been kicked and smashed by the people.
At the moment when the governors were sitting in the crater every day, 20,000 people of Chengde returned.
The people of the entire city did not submit to the rule of the Japanese invaders, and decided to return to the motherland, ignoring the bayonets and guns of the Japanese invaders, and walked hundreds of miles back to the embrace of the motherland.
It must be publicized, vigorously promoted, coupled with the return of the "heroic regiment" of the Great Wall Regiment, although the news about the Great Wall Regiment occupies only a small space in the newspapers.
But as the old politicians expected, this "welcome home" report, which was rendered by political literati with all their efforts, successfully diverted the public's attention.
The whole of Beiping was boiling, and every household put up lanterns to welcome the 20,000 Chengde people who retreated from Rehe like a New Year, as well as the heroic regiment that defeated the Japanese invaders in this war that could be described as a failure.
Everyone, forgetting for the time being about the humiliating pact signed by the stupid government.
I was looking forward to the huge crowd of people dozens of miles away.
