On the periphery of Zhangjiakou, the position of the [***] team.

Everyone received Zhang Yunfei's order, ready to start an orderly retreat, three infantry divisions, many soldiers have already cleaned the battlefield outside Zhangjiakou City, in the periphery of Zhangjiakou, scattered nearly 10,000 little devils' equipment, these things, although the 36th Group Army may not be used for the time being, but it can't be cheapened little devils.

A soldier who was cleaning the battlefield saw the corpse of a little devil Shaozuo in front of him, and hurriedly ran over happily, squatted down and looked carefully, first picked up the little devil Shaozuo's command knife and looked at it, and found that it was a good knife, so he quickly picked it up happily and put it aside.

Then he carefully groped on the little devil Shaozuo, and it didn't take long for the soldier to be happy, and he took out a lot of good things from the little devil Shaozuo, a beautiful pocket watch, a new Parker pen, a few oceans and some military tickets, these things, the soldier put them all into his pocket.

Although these seized things will eventually be returned to the public, this soldier will also get a lot of rewards, Zhang Yunfei's principle is that the more property is captured, the more things will be rewarded.

After the soldier put the things into his pocket one by one, he groped carefully on the little devil Shaozuo, but in the end he only took out a photo in the pocket of the little devil, the photo was a photo of the little devil and a young woman under the cherry blossom tree, the soldier saw that it was just a photo, and threw it aside in disappointment, and stepped on it fiercely.

At this time, a burly warrior also walked over with a smile, and saw that the warrior's face was also full of smiles, and hurriedly said happily to the soldier just now: "Xiao Wuzi, look at your beauty, what things have been captured, tell me about it." ”

So, the soldier took out all the things he had just captured, and said happily to the burly soldier: "Squad leader, you see, this little ghost has a lot of good things on him?" ”

The squad leader also looked at it carefully, and then looked at the corpse of the little devil Shaozuo on the ground, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Wuzi, this little devil is a little devil Shaozuo, no wonder there are so many things." ”

Not only did this soldier seize a lot of things, but also a lot of soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield, including the ocean, pens, and pocket watches, and some soldiers also seized some gold bars.

However, compared with these belongings, the most seized are guns and ammunition, and the equipment of tens of thousands of little devils is scattered on the ground and everywhere.

Many of the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield carried several Type 38 rifles on their backs, while some soldiers carried crooked machine guns, or two people carried Type 92 heavy machine guns together.

With so many weapons and equipment, the soldiers also had a sense of joy when they looked at it, and everyone happily took the equipment and walked to the big truck parked a few hundred meters away, and on the dozens of trucks parked in the distance, a large number of guns and ammunition had been neatly stacked at this time.

Some of the fighters were there to register and sort out their equipment, which would be transported back to Datong and placed in a warehouse to be disposed of later.

On the positions of the three artillery regiments, the fighters are hanging a 105-mm howitzer onto a towing truck, and the unfinished shells, boxes and boxes are loaded onto the trucks, some of the trucks have begun to retreat, behind these trucks that have begun to retreat, a 105-mm howitzer has been covered with camouflage artillery jackets, and is heading for the road in the distance......

Zhangjiakou, the command of the little devils.

The commander of the Little Devil Division, Ichiro Togawa, is discussing countermeasures with a group of Devil officers, and now the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and Ichiro Shikawa is worried that the [***] team outside the city will attack the city in a big way.

If the [***] team outside really attacked, Shikawa Ichiro would not have the slightest confidence that he would be able to hold the broken city wall of Zhangjiakou, and now the morale of the troops is low, and the casualties are not small, and more importantly, the troops defending the city have not seen the arrival of reinforcements so far, a little disappointed, and even desperate.

Shikawa Ichiro looked around at the dozen or so little devil senior officers present, and was very dissatisfied in his heart, everyone had been discussing for nearly half an hour, and no one had been able to come up with a better plan, which made Togawa Ichiro's face a little ugly.

A group of little devil officers, seeing that their division commander was in a bad mood, slowly became silent, afraid that if they said too much, they would lose, and accidentally touched the mold.

When the atmosphere at the headquarters was very dull, a little devil communication soldier ran in in a hurry with a happy face, and didn't even shout the basic report, which made Togawa Ichiro, who was already in a bad mood, frown, and was about to get angry.

But the little devil signal soldier didn't care about these at all, but said happily: "Your Excellency, the squadron outside the city is cleaning the battlefield and packing up the equipment, I'm afraid it's going to be ready to retreat." ”

Hearing this, Shikawa Ichiro couldn't believe it and said, "Really? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's true." The little devil messenger said respectfully.

"That's great." Shikawa Ichiro let out a long breath, and then said happily: "Everyone, let's go to the city wall together." ”

A group of high-ranking commanders of the little devils, surrounded by Shikawa Ichiro, came to the city wall in less than ten minutes. At this time, although there were still some little devils on the city wall who had not been cleaned up in time and were lying on the ground, Togawa Ichiro didn't mind at all.

Instead, he picked up the telescope with great interest and looked into the distance, and sure enough, as the little devil communication soldier just reported, the [***] team in the distance was cleaning up the battlefield, and some of the [***] teams had begun to retreat.

"Yo Xi, that's great." Ichiro Togawa couldn't help but laugh.

The 36th Group Army approached the city, putting too much pressure on Shikawa Ichiro who was defending the city, and the 36th Group Army had never encountered such fierce artillery fire and such dense firepower in his life.

Now, hearing that the 36th Group Army outside the city took the initiative to retreat, Togawa Ichiro actually had a feeling of escaping death.

After looking at it for a few minutes, it was confirmed that it was correct, Shichuan Ichiro hurriedly went down the city wall, preparing to send a report to Okamura Ningji in Beiping, reporting the situation in Zhangjiakou, the sudden withdrawal of the [***] team, revealing weirdness, Shichuan Ichiro was not sure of the real purpose of the retreat of the 36th Group Army outside the city.

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.

Okamura Ninji had already received a telegram from the base camp, in which he ordered Okamura Ninji to reinforce the Mengsui Army at all costs.

Okamura Ninji, who saw the telegram, frowned, his face was solemn, he walked to the huge military map, and was silent after reading it for a long time, and Okamura Ninji also felt deep helplessness at this time.

The combat effectiveness of the 36th Group Army, Okamura Ninji is relatively understanding, even if it is 17 permanent divisions, if it fights the 36th Group Army with a strength of 1 to 1, it will have no chance of winning.

Regarding the report on the combat effectiveness of the 36th Army, Okamura Ninji had already reported it to the base camp. However, a few old diehards in the base camp not only did not believe it, but instead reprimanded Okamura Ninji, saying that the Imperial Army was invincible, and that Okamura Ninji was defeated again and again in front of the 36th Group Army, which was a sign of incompetence.

Okamura Ningji looked at the military map and found that Jining was so dazzling, Jining completely cut off the road between Guisui and Zhangjiakou, and if you want to make a detour to Jining, you will have to add at least two or three days to the distance.

In order to reinforce Guisui as soon as possible, he could only take the shortest route, but to attack Jining, Okamura Ningji was not at all sure. Okamura Ninji thought to himself, the base camp is really a big problem for me.

Just when Okamura Ningji was worried, the chief of staff of the little devil personally walked in quickly with a telegram, and said happily: "Your Excellency Commander, the Zhangjiakou side has just called, and the [***] team outside Zhangjiakou has taken the initiative to retreat. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing." Just as Okamura Ninji grabbed the telegram with a look of disbelief, looked at it carefully, looked happy, and said loudly: "Great, really good." ”

But Okamura Ningji was happy for a while, and then felt that something was wrong, and thought to himself, why did Zhang Yunfei take the initiative to retreat? The last time Zhang Yunfei feinted to attack Zhangjiakou, not only made Okamura Ningji highly nervous, but also caused the defenders of Zhangjiakou to suffer heavy casualties, this time, Okamura Ningji became very careful.

Okamura Ningji walked to the map again, looked worried, and looked at it for a long time before he figured out that Zhang Yunfei asked the troops to retreat, probably to choose a suitable place to block his troops from advancing eastward.

Thinking about this, Okamura Ningji ordered: "Order all reinforcements to speed up, and after reaching Zhangjiakou, do not rest, continue to advance westward, and reinforce Guisui instead." ”

The chief of staff of the little devil, when he saw his commander giving the order, immediately bowed his head and bowed, and immediately went to give reinforcement orders to the troops.

Now, the little devil's reinforcement vanguard can reach Zhangjiakou in a little more than a little while, the little devil is moving forward desperately, and many little devils who are running forward are about to collapse.

When the reinforcements of the little devils arrived in Zhangjiakou out of breath, the tens of thousands of [***] teams outside Zhangjiakou had withdrawn, and a large number of corpses of the little devils were left on the positions outside the city, and all the weapons on the position were all transported away by the [***] team.

The little devil troops who arrived in Zhangjiakou saw so many casualties on their side, and the strong city wall was also dilapidated, many little devils couldn't believe their eyes, and thought in their hearts, the 36th Group Army is too powerful, is it true that the legend of the 36th Group is invincible.
