Chapter 2: War and Politics (13)

Objectively speaking. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang did quite well in its intelligence work. Moreover, not only the Kuomintang government, but also many local governments such as the Guangdong Department also attached great importance to the collection of intelligence. Therefore, it only took an hour for the Beiping ** to happen, and almost all the major forces in the country learned the news. And with the Scholar Army and the 59th Army coming to the whole country at about 10 o'clock in the morning, saying that they would send troops to Beiping to help the 29th Army eliminate rebellion and maintain order, the ** that happened in Beiping caused an exclamation all over the country.

This telegram was General Zhang Zizhong's idea, as an old man who has been in the military and political circles for many years, his wisdom in this regard is not comparable to Ouyang Yun, a stunned young man. And Ouyang Yun felt fortunate that he was fortunate to have come to Tianjin, otherwise, let alone not getting the idea of "national electrification", I am afraid that because of this incident in Beiping, the close comrade-in-arms relationship between the two armies will come to an end.

After messing up the matter of electrification, because the 59th Army announced that it would also send troops, then the next thing would be easy to do. Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong first finalized the details of the troops, and then the distribution of territory. Not long after Ouyang Yun arrived in Tianjin, Zhang Zizhong got the latest news from Beiping. Song Zheyuan and the senior officers of the 29th Army who stayed in Nanyuan were actually stewed by Jin Bihui and others, and the only ones who escaped from Ascension were Qin Dechun and Tong Linge, who was seriously injured. When they first heard the news, Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun were a little sad, especially Zhang Zizhong, who was furious on the spot, vowing to capture Jin Bihui alive by all means, and then pulled to Song Zheyuan's grave for a "living sacrifice" to comfort Song Gong's spirit in the sky. Facing Zhang Zizhong's somewhat hideous face, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't know that there was the participation of Mu Jian Butterfly and Fox Pupil in this matter, and then he was a little worried - there is no impermeable wall in the world, if Zhang Zizhong knows the truth of Lu Dao, what kind of bad consequences will it bring?!

Once Song Zheyuan was killed, the 29th Army would be considered to be scattered, not to mention whether Qin Dechun and Tong Linge had the prestige to be in charge of the 29th Army, it was very realistic that not long after the news of Song Zheyuan's murder reached Tianjin, some of the troops of the 29th Army left behind in Beiping and the surrounding areas sent a telegram to the 59th Army asking for help, and many of them wanted to join the 59th Army from now on. What Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong didn't expect was that Qin Dechun, who is currently the head of the 29th Army, did not contact Zhang Zizhong at the first time after learning the news of Song Zheyuan's murder, but contacted Li Tieshu and formally requested the Xuebing Army to assist in counterinsurgency.

At that time, the Second Division and the Third Brigade had already left Xiongxian, and He Zheng's regiment also took Gaobeidian.

He Zheng's regiment was a test field for Ouyang Yun's infantry troops, and the entire regiment was carried out in accordance with the standards of the later Jibu regiment from the staffing to the allocation of weapons and equipment. It is not known exactly what the combat effectiveness of this unit will be because it has not been in actual combat, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, its ability to maneuver.

Gaobeidian was originally garrisoned by the troops of "bald Li Jin", in view of this, Gaobeidian's change of flag did not encounter too much resistance, which made "bald Li Jin" very proud, and in the telegram sent to Jin Bihui to praise the victory, he boasted that he had become a character like General Yum. Xu was smug and forgetful, so after taking over Gaobeidian, although Jin Bihui repeatedly warned him to do a good job of defensive fortifications and prepare for the counterattack of the Xuebing Army and the 29th Army, he didn't take it to heart, so when He Zheng's regiment, who had gone and returned, suddenly appeared outside Gaobeidian City, this guy from a ruffian and hooligan was immediately stupid. At first, he was still lucky, thinking that the Xuebing Army was just borrowing the way to Wanping, so he mustered up the courage to climb the city tower surrounded by a group of brothers, wanting to fool the past, however, his "brothers below" had just exited, only to hear a "pop" gunshot, and then, the minions around him saw that his head suddenly exploded, red blood, white brains flew around, two of them were so frightened that they peed their pants, and the others screamed and scattered for their lives. The so-called what kind of general will bring what kind of soldiers, besides, this "general" is now dead, so He Zheng's regiment only fired one shot, and then the so-called "Beiping Autonomous Army" Third Brigade was scattered.

After He Zhengchuan led the group to take over Gaobeidian, he did not stay here for long - his murderous method of shooting without saying a word greatly deterred the local ruffians and hooligans, and without the prosperity of these people, the security of Gaobeidian would be much easier to manage. Therefore, he left only one platoon to garrison, and then went straight to the next target, Gu'an.

Just when the Scholar Army and the 59th Army began to deploy troops to increase troops in Beiping, the Japanese army's military operations against Wanping City and Beiping finally began.

In order to echo the chaos caused by Jin Bihui in the city of Beiping, the Japanese army first sent four bombers to fly over Beiping and dropped a large number of leaflets to publicize Japan's policy in North China and advocate the various benefits of Beiping and even North China's autonomy.

At about 9:30 a.m., after the leaflets were scattered in Beiping, the first batch of 24 dive bombers and 12 fighters of the Japanese army flew from the airfield in Chengde, the capital of Rehe, to the sky over Wanping City and began the first wave of bombing. I don't know if it was because he had suffered the loss of the Cadet Army in the Wen'an and Tianjin Wars, this time, the little devil who led the team was very cunning and divided the 36 planes into six groups, each group of four bombers and two fighters, of which, the first group of four fighters carried out a dive bombing attack, while the remaining five groups were waiting for the Cadet Corps' anti-aircraft fire to be exposed and destroyed.

Airplanes, artillery, and tanks are the three magic weapons of the Japanese Army, and Li Tieshu, who has already dealt with the other side three times, naturally cannot defend against this. Therefore, he set up lookout posts on all four pillboxes, and when the Japanese planes had just entered the eyes of the watchpost soldiers, they put the whistles in their mouths and blew them "shhhh Later, the air defense sirens in Wanping City sounded loudly, and the workers' self-defense forces and railway self-defense forces in Wanping City immediately rushed out of the garrison when they heard the whistle and began to arrange for residents to enter the air-raid shelters in an organized manner as they had done in the previous drill. The soldiers of the air defense battalion quickly entered the combat position and began to watch the sky nervously, waiting for the arrival of the little devil fighter.
