The expansion of the Mujiazhai defense circle has been completed, but the construction of the east gate of the future base area has been completed. Ling Kaishan did not let the captives sit idle, and began to operate the real core part of the fortifications, that is, the construction of the fortress group centered on the neck beam. Specifically, it is divided into the following parts:

Main bunkers: Sanhuang Mountain, Parade Platform, Neck Beam, Neck Mountain, Heavenly Peak, Wangfo Temple and other six main pillboxes, forming the core fire support point.

Peripheral fortification group: It includes four parts: hidden bunkers in eight directions, commanding heights and fire support points, and surrounding light and dark fire points.

This is a huge project, and Ling Kaishan is not prepared to do it overnight. The first step was to complete the six main bunkers, then gradually spread outwards to form a complex of fortresses.

The entire defensive area is 20 kilometers long in a straight line from east to west and 12 kilometers wide in a straight line from north to south. Hold the south bank of the Juma River and become the southern barrier of the secret camp of Woniuding.

Ling Kaishan took a fancy to this area, mainly because there were no residents in this area, and there was almost no one in the area. To the north is the Juma River, and after crossing the river, it belongs to the sphere of influence of Zhang Er's large army. Therefore, under normal circumstances, guns are fired in the depths of the dense forest here, and outsiders cannot know about it.

Especially here from Mujiazhai, the northeast is Fangshan Town, the south is Baoding, and the southwest is Bauhinia Pass Langya Mountain. Bai Shujie asked Ling Kaishan to slowly expand his power to the first line of Bauhinia Pass, although Ling Kaishan didn't understand what it meant, but he carried it out to the letter.

Ling Kaishan was immersed in construction at home, and there was already a commotion outside the mountain.

As the news of the reconnaissance platoon continued to come back, Ling Kaishan was finally alerted, and at the same time, he also reported the relevant situation to the regiment commander Zhang Erxuan.

It turned out that Kenji Dohihara and Tada Jun had already identified two teams that surveyed and mapped the terrain in Fangshan, and something must have happened.

Although it is said by all sides that the bandits did it, Kenji Dohihara confirmed that the 29th Army could not get out of it. Therefore, Tada Jun recently specifically asked for trouble with Tianjin Mayor Zhang Zizhong, and he must have them give an explanation, otherwise they will have to meet each other.

Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division was stationed on the front line of Nanyuan, very close to Fangshan. Zhao Dengyu has always had a tense relationship with the little devils, and one of his troops has a brigade stationed in Wanping, which is closer to the area north of Fangshan.

In order to clear their suspicions, Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu are already mobilizing troops and preparing to go into the mountains to suppress bandits. Because they all think that after the last "merger between bandits, it is likely that several bandits have merged, so their strength has increased greatly." ”

In particular, in order to divert other people's targets and hide his purpose of peeping into Beiping, Shi Yousan said that Sang Muqing's mutiny was a bandit.

Based on the above understanding, the top brass of the 29th Army unanimously agreed that the work of suppressing bandits in Shanfang could not be delayed, otherwise there would be no way to continue to cooperate with the Japanese.

After receiving the information from Ling Kaishan, Zhang Erzhuo combined the information of his reconnaissance platoon, and in order to avoid a head-on conflict with the 29th Army, he also took medicine according to the prescription and made a big banner to hang -- the "Wufengpo Lianzhuang Self-Defense Regiment."

Moreover, Zhang Erxuan went even further, and even erected a sign at the traffic arteries within a radius of 30 kilometers: "In the garrison area of this self-defense regiment, no foreign military forces are welcome." Forces of all parties are not allowed to trespass without permission, otherwise they will be severely attacked by the Self-Defense Forces. The Self-Defense Corps shall not be responsible for any consequences arising therefrom. ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Er is arrogant, because he is now angry. Ling Kaishan struck and rushed in front, and he commanded a large army to make a fortune in the back. For example, exterminating Lingguan Temple and Wufengpo, two giant bandit nests that have accumulated for more than ten years, can make a fortune.

Especially after he came forward to suppress the bandits, he directly occupied the Lingguan Temple and Wufengpo, and later after Mo Fengjiao withdrew the people, he also sent people to occupy them, and finally set up the headquarters in the central area "Wufengpo".

Then, all the villages that had been ravaged by bandits were restored, and agricultural cultivation was rewarded, and economic assistance was provided to extremely poor families, which won wide praise from the common people.

Because of this, from Fangshan County to the west, many young people in Weixian, Huailai, Zhuolu, Xuanhua and other areas went to him to join the army, in order to be able to defend their hometown.

So far, Zhang Erxuan has expanded the original machine gun company into a machine gun battalion and stationed in Lingguan Temple; The assault company was expanded into an assault battalion and stationed at Pandaoling; The artillery company was also expanded into an artillery battalion, which was stationed at Woniuding; The guard company was expanded into a training battalion and stationed in Wufengpo to supplement the training work of the brigade.

Not counting Ling Kaishan's Zhang Fang battalion, Zhang Erxuan now has a regular army of more than 2,780 people, and a supplementary brigade of more than 900 people.

In other words, if you count Ling Kaishan's department, Zhang Erxuan now has five battalions of shelves in his hands, and there is also a genuine artillery battalion.

Although the troops are not yet fully combat-effective, but with a strong firepower density, Zhang Er is not worried that a division can eat himself, so he is bold and openly demonstrates.

Because he had carefully reconnoitred the 38th Division of Zhang Zizhong, the most powerful division of the 29th Army, although this division was fully equipped and its weapons were also luxurious, but when he carefully compared the configurations between various equipment, Zhang Erzhuo's performance was superior.

Heavy machine guns, Zhang Erxuan is the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Makqin heavy machine gun each account for half, which is not worse than the monotonous Makqin heavy machine gun of the 38th Division;

Light machine guns, Zhang Erxuan are all Dzhegalev light machine guns, which are more than enough to deal with Czech light machine guns; The howitzer, the guy in Zhang Er's hand, had an effective firing range of 100 meters farther than the 38th Division, and directly suppressed all the howitzers and grenadiers of the 38th Division.

The most important thing is that Zhang Erxuan has already equipped the radio station to each company, and there is also an artillery battalion, equipped with 4 75mm mountain guns, 4 75mm field guns, and 8 105mm field cannons, with a firing range of 18.2 kilometers, which can provide fire support to each company at any time, and the 38th Division can only stare dryly.

These equipment were not originally used to deal with the 38th Division, so as long as the 38th Division and the 132nd Division were not too excessive, they would be fine. The setting of the sign was also considered by Zhang Erdu.

Near each sign, a group of scouts were watching. As soon as the 29th Army crossed ten kilometers, the 105mm field cannon had to speak a warning.

If it really comes to the situation of not listening to dissuasion, there is no way for the brothers to meet each other with swords and soldiers - this is the right that Bai Shujie gave Zhang Erxuan - in the future Lugou Bridge Incident, the 29th Army 100,000 people, less than 20,000 people were engaged in the battle, and then the whole line collapsed and fled - because they did not build any fortifications.

For four years, from May 1933 to July 1937, the 29th Army used all the money it could to divert to expand the number of troops, and did not build any fortifications.

To put it bluntly, the 29th Army never thought about fighting the Japanese army.

Later, in the "77 Incident", if it weren't for the little devil who slashed the knife to the neck of the 20th Army, they would not have fought back. Because the combat goal of the little devil is to completely annihilate the 29th Army, or capture all the 29th Army, and then transform it into a puppet army.

The so-called Lugou Bridge War of Resistance was nothing more than a passage for the 29th Army to escape. In the end, he lost his car and protected the commander, sacrificing 20,000 people under Deputy Army Commander Tong Linge and Division Commander Zhao Dengyu, and 80,000 escaped.

Later, several parties hyped up the various honors of the Lugou Bridge Anti-Japanese War, just to boost the confidence of the Chinese people to resist Japan.

The "77 Incident" is the same as the "918 Incident", which is a huge shame for the Chinese nation, and Song Zheyuan was nailed to this pillar of shame.

The "September 18 Incident" was a huge shame for the Northeast Army. Six years later, the "77 Incident" was another great shame for the Northwest Army.

After that, the history of being a local warlord force disappeared, the prelude to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was fully opened, and the real national defense force came to the forefront.

The Kuomintang led the National Army and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Kuomintang shouldered the responsibility of saving the Chinese nation.

Therefore, General Zhang Zizhong was bent on death later, and naturally there were deep-seated reasons.

As the commander-in-chief of the group army, General Zhang Zizhong rushed to the front line every time he charged the enemy, which is rare in world history. In the final analysis, he was sacrificing himself at the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance to wash away this shame.

Bai Shujie is a person from the past, and in order to ensure his overall situation, he naturally will not allow such troops to interfere in his plans.

However, General Zhao Dengyu is not a fool. His vanguard is the special service regiment directly under the 132nd Division, and as soon as he came out of Mentougou, he found Zhang Er's warning sign as soon as he crossed the Tanzhe Temple.

A team that is not even a local security regiment openly warns the regular army of military operations, which is also rare in Chinese history, anyway, General Zhao Dengyu is the first time he has heard of it, so he simply issued an order: "Stand still." ”

General Zhao Dengyu knows very well that in the current situation, the troops that can be so arrogant are more likely to be related to Chengde. For example, Xiongxian, Raoyang, Anping, Cangzhou, etc., no one can guarantee whether Bai Shujie has extended his hand to Fangshan again.

General Zhang Zizhong was different, his vanguard was Li Zhiyuan's independent 26th Brigade stationed in Machang, and he directly dispatched a regiment to advance 30 kilometers west to Fangshan Town.

After staying in Fangshan Town for three days, the regiment continued to advance northwest, mainly to see what was happening in Yangeryu.

Because of the recent news about "orphan girl's revenge", "Lingxian Gu descending to earth", and "female commander going out of the mountain", the entire 29th Army already knows that Fangshan seems to be very unpeaceful recently.

Unexpectedly, the entire Sujiabao in Yangeryu was already a ruin, with black ruins and broken walls, as if it was silently telling something.

The head of the regiment Wang Juemin said fiercely: "These bandits are so brutal, a good manor was burned down like this, it is simply inhumane." ”

"Commander, we heard that people are avenging their father, and the old Su family burned down such a fire as their house back then. Moreover, he used a hoe to chop his father to death, and then set fire to destroy the corpse, and even a child over two years old was burned to death. ”

"Hmph. It's all bandit nonsense. Wang Juemin said awe-inspiringly: "As long as I catch these bandits, I must cut them with a thousand knives to avenge the people of the old Su family." ”

Seeing that his regiment commander was domineering, the soldiers next to him hurriedly bowed their heads and marched forward, no longer daring to provoke right and wrong.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
