Because there was no military order to return to the station.

Liu Lang and his independent regiment stayed in Beiping for nearly half a month.

Because of the humiliating "Tanggu Agreement", eastern Hebei and Chadong were "demilitarized zones", and the three divisions were selected in Hebei Province, and the old territory that originally belonged to the Northeast Army was completely annexed by the bald bosses.

Taking advantage of a big war with the Japanese invaders, the bald boss firmly took northern China into his own hands, and I have to say, not to mention anything else, the bald boss's ability to grab territory is really the first person in China in this era.

In the battle of Xifengkou, 5,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, and the 29th Army, which was second only to the independent regiment Song Zheyuan, was not in vain, not only Song Zheyuan, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Zhao Dengyu, and Liu Ruming were awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, but at the same time, the People's Anti-Japanese Alliance Army organized by Feng Yuxiang in Chahar was banned by the bald bosses and had to be disbanded, so they were all incorporated by the 29th Army.

Song Zheyuan, with the consent of the national government, expanded the 29th Army into four divisions with more than 60,000 men. The newly added 143rd Division (formerly the 2nd Temporary Division) was commanded by Liu Ruming, and the 132nd Division was commanded by Zhao Dengyu. The 29th Army also received a large amount of weapons and equipment from the Anti-Japanese League, including more than 30 mountain artillery pieces from Tang Yulin's unit of the former Northeast Army, plus eight Japanese-style mountain artillery guns received from Liu Lang, and its strength increased greatly and became a decisive military force in North China.

However, there was no place for the 29th Army in Hebei, and Song Zheyuan could only be sent back to Chahar to serve as his chairman of Chahar Province, the largest armed force in North China, and also garrisoned Chahar Province.

On this day, Liu Lang was still thinking about how to go to Song Zheyuan, who was about to leave, to talk about the situation in North China in the next few years, because Liu Lang knew that Song Zheyuan in history was not accurate in judging the situation of the Japanese army to invade China in 1937, even if the Japanese army stationed nearly 30,000 troops between Pingjin and Tianjin, Song Zheyuan still thought that the 30,000 Japanese troops were definitely not the enemy of the 29th Army, which had already grown strong and strong and had swelled to 100,000 troops.

Even, the general chose to return to his hometown in Shandong to recuperate because he was tired of the marathon fight with the Japanese, and as a result, when he was still leisurely in the mountains and rivers, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out.

The Japanese army, which had already increased to more than 100,000 troops, not only occupied the superiority in troops, but also took the initiative. Deputy Army Commander Tong Linge was killed in battle, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, was also martyred in this battle.

Even, Zhang Zizhong, a famous anti-Japanese general who died in the Battle of Suizao in the future, also died indirectly in this battle. In order to satisfy Song Zheyuan's careful thinking about preserving his strength, Zhang Zizhong appointed himself as the mayor of Beiping, led four regiments to maintain law and order, and all the members of the 29th Army retreated to Baoding.

Zhang Zizhong, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, has since sprouted the will to live and die, but whenever there is a big war, he will lead the army to fight with the Japanese invaders, and he often goes to the front line with the respect of the head of an army, and when he is in the battle of Zao, he personally led a regiment to rescue his troops, and finally the Japanese army that found the clue was heavily surrounded and finally ran out of ammunition and food and died in the country.

These tragedies could have been avoided, even if the 29th Army could not withstand the advance of the Japanese army's hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as it had raised its vigilance and entered the position earlier, the Japanese army would have been able to occupy the entire Pingjin and Tianjin, and it would have to pay a lot of price.

Liu Lang was still thinking about finding a reason to visit the army commander, and Song Zheyuan actually came to visit in person.

He has become a second-level general, naturally not because of how good Liu Lang himself is, Liu Lang can fight again, and now he is only a small colonel, and there are only 3,000 troops under his hands, which is not enough for a general commander under his command to swell to 60,000, which is almost equivalent to the strength of a group army.

The purpose of General Song's visit was only to consult with Liu Lang on the follow-up issues of the more than 1,000 wounded of the original 288th and 289th regiments who were still in the hospital. The two regiments fought at the Great Wall, and more than 2,000 people were wounded, but only about half survived in the hospital.

After more than a month of post-war recuperation, the lightly wounded have been rebuilt, but there are still thousands of disabled and seriously injured people who have lost arms or legs in the hospitals, and there is nowhere to settle down.

No matter how many fighters they are for the rest of their lives, they have also lost their combat effectiveness, and it is impossible for them to return to the army. Song Zheyuan is also a well-known soldier like a son, so naturally he can't bear to send him back to his hometown like this.

After thinking about it, it happened that the newly established Chinese business group was recruiting a large number of refugees from the north to work in the newly established factories in the south, and one of the two major shareholders of this so-called Chinese business group that came forward to negotiate with the Beiping government was Liu Lang's Taishan master --- Ji Lianrong.

Of course, Song Zheyuan immediately thought of finding Liu Lang, who likes to dig corners, and has already dug up 1,300 elites for him, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a job for more than 1,000 disabled veterans in his father-in-law's factory!

Because Liu Ruming didn't take advantage of Liu Lang every time he clashed with Liu Lang, he even suffered a loss, and at all, Song Zheyuan, who couldn't care about his general's respect, stepped out in person.

In this respect, Song Zheyuan is undoubtedly an admirable general. It was difficult for Liu Lang to refuse.

Therefore, when Song Zheyuan explained his intention straight to the point, Liu Lang agreed without hesitation. What happened to more than a thousand disabled servicemen? What if you don't have hands or feet? They have made contributions to this country and nation, and they deserve the respect of this country and nation.

What's more, those soldiers who have survived a hundred battles can still fight without picking up guns, even if not on the battlefield against the Japanese invaders. Liu Lang needs them.

Liu Lang's cheerfulness stunned Song Zheyuan, and he was even ready to be blackmailed by Liu Lang before he came, he would even rather have a few fewer cannons, but also give these incapacitated soldiers under his command a place to eat.

"Head Liu, if you have any requirements, just say it directly, what I can do for you Song Zheyuan will definitely do it for you." Although the newly promoted second-class general was overjoyed, he was still a little weak after all.

Who made Liu Tuanzuo never suffer a big name!

"Chief Song, are you sure you have to ask me to make a request?" Liu Lang looked at the chairman of Chahar Province with some amusement and said.

"I must mention that you have done me such a great favor to the 29th Army, as long as it is within the scope of my Song Someone's ability and does not harm the interests of my 29th Army, I can help." Although Song Zheyuan's heart is empty, his mouth is very hard.

However, the meaning of the words still secretly reminded Liu Lang after all, don't be too lion-minded, Song's ability range is not very large, for example, those cannons should be given.

"Alright, you can sign this with your big name." Liu Lang wrote a line of words on a blank piece of paper and handed it to Admiral Song.

"Song Zheyuan owes Liu Lang a favor, and under the condition that it does not harm the interests of the country and the 29th Army, Liu Lang can ask for it at any time, and this favor is valid for five years." Song Zheyuan looked at Liu Lang's words blankly, and couldn't help but feel a big pain.

This is really the reality of the mother.

Give him an opening, and this favor will come out in black and white, not only with a time span of five years, but also with a signature to confirm.

"Haha, it's interesting, sign to recognize people's feelings. Okay, Lao Tzu recognized this great favor, in the future, you Commander Liu but have a request, I, Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army, will do their best to repay each other. Song Zheyuan picked up the brush and signed his name, laughed a few times, dropped the pen and went out.

It's obviously the rhythm of saving lunch money for Langtuanza.

Liu Lang he, carefully put away the blank paper, and handed it to Sun Bufu, a part-time confidential officer, "Put this away for me, Admiral Song's letter of commitment is very precious!" ”

Sun couldn't only express his admiration for the fat man's group, and asked a general with 60,000 heavy troops to sign a letter of commitment, looking at all the officers of the national army, it is estimated that there is no one!

Song Zheyuan, who was free and detached, probably didn't expect that this letter of commitment would make some small changes in the historical trajectory that he should have experienced four years later.

It is precisely this change that makes his shining light in the historical sky much brighter.
