Thinking of Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, and Zhao Dengshun who were martyred heroically, Bai Shujie couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, full of heroic spirit, and wrote a poem of seven uniques to mourn:

There are great sages in the society, and they are brave to the sky; The heroic souls of the loyal martyrs are here, and the souls of the widows are flying and kneeling in Jiuquan!

While publishing the inscription of the commander-in-chief Bai Shujie, the "Chengde Front Daily" comprehensively reported the battle of the "Nanyuan Bloody Battle". And published a commentator's article questioning the course of this battle:

"After the powerful Japanese invaders crossed the ocean, they came from Tianjin and Langfang, crossed three lines of defense in a row to attack Nanyuan, and there was not a single shot of Lang Fei on the way, why is this?"

"Tong Linge and General Zhao Dengyu have completed the tactical layout, but the relevant parties have withdrawn the 37th Division of the garrison in Beiping and transferred them to Beiping to defend the city, what is this for?"

"Since Song Zheyuan has ordered the 37th Division to retreat, why didn't the 38th Division and the 132nd Division get the order to retreat? Instead, one entered the city to take over the defense, and the other stood still? For the sake of his own selfishness, he does not hesitate to harm his own soldiers, how poisonous his intentions are! ”

"General Zhao Dengyu fought a bloody battle in Nanyuan, and finally the whole army was annihilated. Why is it that the friendly forces are close at hand, but they are behind enemy lines and watch the blood of thousands of comrades-in-arms spill for a long time? Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, seeing the land being humiliated, and Pao Ze fighting alone in the enemy's artillery fire, what are you doing? ”

"Since ancient times, there has been a precept that 'the general will not be subject to the orders of foreign kings', and you can also feel at ease when you see your robes fall one by one in the artillery fire? Let's not talk about any national righteousness, let's talk about the brotherhood on weekdays, how can you bear it?! ”

"This is how the disgrace of a soldier is forged with the flesh and blood of his own robes. You will bear the infamy of all generations, and without your own blood, you will never be clean! Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu, the two generals, will be remembered for thousands of years! ”

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

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

In this way, there is a division of Wei Chong in the east and a division of Zhao Dengyu in the west, and under the attack from both sides, plus more than 30,000 people of Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division on the periphery of Tianjin, the 20th Division of the little devil can be pressed to the same place, and finally "divide and eat"!

I didn't expect that history has its own inherent laws of operation, and it is not at all subject to the will of individuals. Now that Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division has lost its commander, the troops scattered in other places cannot be gathered at all for a while, let alone have combat effectiveness.

Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division, don't even think about it. Unless the little devils want to swallow Dong Shengtang's 114 Brigade and Liu Zhensan's 113 Brigade in one gulp, there will be the so-called "Tianjin Counterattack"!

The so-called "Tianjin Counterattack" was entirely Zhang Zizhong's own reaping of the consequences. If you have the determination to fight to the death from the beginning and join forces with Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division to fight each other, then you will be able to attack and defend freely.

After killing Zhao Dengyu, the 38th Division became a lone army!

The 20th Division and the 1st Mixed Brigade of the little devils were brought in, and after the loss of Nanyuan, the west has become a dead place, and now the 5th and 6th divisions of the little devils have landed in Qinhuangdao and Tanggu respectively, and the 14th Division 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 lips of the little devil, and then he panicked!

It's a pity that it's too late now, an even bigger disaster has finally struck, and the fall of Pingjin is just around the corner!

At midnight on July 28, 1937, Zhang Zizhong finally discovered the problem of Yan zhòng!

The 38th Independent Brigade of Nguyen Xuan Vu of the 39th Division was stationed at the Hoang Temple north of Beiping City. Now that Nanyuan has been lost, and the North China garrison army is moving north, this 39th Brigade will be destroyed without any backhand power!

The Xia Ziming Brigade, which was originally adapted from Liu Guitang's department, still stayed in Zhangjiakou, and now it has been scattered by the 14th Division of the little devils, and there is no energy to care about 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, and they are already unable to move an inch and are in danger!

If there were no outside receiving troops, the three brigades mentioned above would all be a straw, and a match would have gone up in smoke. If the above three brigades are gone, the 38th Division will no longer exist!

The only troops that Zhang Zizhong has at hand are Li Zhiyuan's 26th Independent Brigade, which is stationed in Machang Town, 60 kilometers south of Tianjin, and Huang Weigang's 112th Brigade, which is stationed at a small station 30 kilometers southeast of Tianjin.

Li Zhiyuan's independent 26th Brigade in Machang Town, whose main task was to defend the Tianjin-Pudong Railway; Huang Weigang's 112th Brigade mainly defended the coastal line of Tanggu, Dagu, and Xiaozhan stations.

Because of this, once these two troops are used, it means that Tianjin is abandoned. Therefore, the "Tianjin Counterattack" called by later generations is purely self-deception!

To the west, there were the 20th Division, the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 14th Division, and the 5th and 6th Divisions to the east.

Just a 38th division, what Lang flowers can be turned over? It's just to make up for the previous mistakes and fight to the death to rescue the trapped three brigades!

In just one day, the entire Pingjin front line collapsed, I knew today, why bother in the first place!

As long as it is a normal person, everyone knows that Zhang Zizhong wants to save his three brigades. Are little devils stupid? 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 the small station!

At midnight on July 28, 1937, Zhang Zongheng, commander of the 224th Regiment of the 112th Brigade, received an order from Huang Weigang, the brigade lord:

"The 224th Regiment was stationed in the third battalion of Lushuigu and immediately left its original place of residence and rushed to Tianjin to fight. The 1st Battalion stationed in Gegu sent a platoon to cross the river to Junliangcheng, destroying the railroad tracks of the Beining Road and blocking Japanese transportation. ”

Didn't you, Zhang Zizhong, want to pull out this 112 Brigade to rescue your main force? Okay, you're just about to make a move here, and the little devils are the first to attack here, and the Tianjin counterattack has begun!

At 9 a.m. on 29 July, the warships anchored off the coast of Tanggu suddenly opened fire on the Dagu line, bombarding the fortifications on the Tanggu, Dagu, and Gegu lines.

Regiment Commander Zhang Zongheng ordered the first battalion stationed in Gegu to rush to the vicinity of Taohuawu and prepare to fight against the Dagu troops.

However, on this day, the enemy used warship artillery and armored motor boats to patrol the Dagu River, but the infantry never appeared, let alone crossed the river to attack.

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

Of course, Regiment Commander Zhang Zongheng is just a middle- and lower-level officer, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs of the upper echelons at all, and he doesn't even know that General Zhao Dengyu has been martyred!

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

All Zhang Zongheng could do was to dodge the shells that flew over from time to time, and at the same time, closely monitor the movements of the little devils to prevent the little devils from sneaking up on his own defense line.

Before dusk, the enemy used super-large caliber naval guns on the warships outside the mouth of Dagu to shell the vicinity of the Iron Cap Bridge.

At this moment, Regiment Commander Zhang Zongheng finally understood: "The little devil who is lying in Nima is trying to cut off Lao Tzu's retreat and prevent the whole army from retreating. ”

At the same time, the troops of the 38th Division in Tianjin, Langfang, Dagu, Huangsi and other places launched an attack on the little devils in front of them at the same time, and then fled by way and retreated to the area of Machang one after another.

After Zhang Zongheng's 224th Regiment completed the covering task, it was transferred to Gegu on the afternoon of July 29. After a night's rest, we arrived at the station on July 30 and rested at the station on July 31. On August 1, along the Beijiao River, it passed through Machang to Dacheng to deploy defenses.

Li Wentian, deputy commander of the 38th Division, saw that the situation was erosive, so he had no choice but to lead Li Zhiyuan's independent 26th Brigade to launch a final counterattack against the enemy in front of him. At one point, the Japanese army captured the Dongjuzi airfield and blew up all the planes. (What did you do earlier?) How good it would be if Zhao Dengyu came so suddenly before he died! In the end, he suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat.

On July 30, Ruan Xuanwu, the commander of the 39th Independent Brigade of Beiyuan and Huang Temple, 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 a German hospital and did not dare to come out, and Peking fell!

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

As mentioned earlier, Bai Shujie knew that the inherent history could not be changed, so he had already laid the groundwork and was waiting for this day.

At midnight on July 29, 1937, Zhang Zongheng's 224th Regiment received an order to dismantle, and immediately quickly shrank the defensive line, and then concentrated its troops and moved to Gegu.

When the large forces suddenly leave their positions, a gap naturally appears. The four companies of Wei Chong's reconnaissance battalion, which had been prepared long ago, seemed to be blowing through like a hurricane, directly interspersed through the middle of Zhang Zongheng's defensive position, and then concealed on the line of Tanggu, Dagu, and Gegu.

Bai Shujie had already given a clear instruction half a year ago: Wei Chong must move the production line in the Tangda Gun Bureau and Dagu Shipyard before the little devils enter Dagu.

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

At that time, whether it was the national army or the local army, the Czech light machine gun marked with the word "Dagu" was regarded as a treasure.

On the one hand, Bai Shujie took a fancy to the production line here; on the other hand, it is to take a fancy to the large amount of barrel steel accumulated here; There is also the Pegasus freighter docked on the Dagu River, which contains more than a thousand light and heavy machine guns and bullets!

This batch of firearms later fell into the hands of the little devils, so they quickly formed a 100,000 puppet army, and then frantically swept all the horns in Hebei!

The little devil didn't get the Fengtian Ordnance Factory, so he specially sent heavy troops to keep an eye on it. The Fifth Division came at the same time, and its first task was to "safely take Tanggu, Dagu, and Gegu."

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

It is said that Wei Chong's reconnaissance battalion successfully completed the infiltration and soon got in touch with the squad that had been hidden before.

Battalion commander Chang Bikuan hurriedly gathered the four company commanders: "Our battle began at twelve o'clock this evening. Order the soldiers to be hidden, don't expose the target, in case they are killed by Zhang Zongheng and them, it will be a great wrong! ”

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