Zhang Minghui had already understood the movements of the little devil and reorganized his team!

In the direction of Qiqihar, Sun Feng is the brigade commander, the fourth brigade. The main force of the fourth brigade is still the fourth regiment with 5,000 people, and the fifth regiment with 5,000 people. The fifth regiment was formed from the reserve group. It has good training, but has no actual combat experience!

In Mudanjiang, Lu Xiu was appointed as the commander of the second brigade. The second regiment was already a large regiment of 7,500 people, supplemented by the regiment and himself. The reserve regiment formed the seventh regiment of 3,000 men. Ruan Jie's independent brigade of 4,000 men was led by Yan Qiang.

Come on, it’s funny, independent travel

Although it was a brigade, the number of people was not as large as Zhang Minghui's regiment, so Ruan Jie didn't know about the situation in Mao'er Mountain before, and he was still a little embarrassed after knowing it! But these are not important, as long as they are a team fighting against Japanese invaders, no matter what

How is the preparation?

There were even more people in the Harbin direction. Xiaowu was appointed as the commander of the first brigade, with 3,000 people in the first regiment. The reserve group consisted of the eighth regiment with 2,700 people, and the new first regiment had 5,700 people. Among them, Zhang Minghui arranged for Dingshan to be the leader of the new regiment.

Li Baoqi served as the brigade commander of the third brigade. Among them, 5,000 people from the third regiment stayed in Maoershan and Harbin, and 1,000 people from the independent detachment stayed in Shangzhi City.

In addition, 4,000 people from the engineering regiment, 4,000 people from the artillery battalion, guard company, mortar company, and machine gun company are all in Harbin.

As for Jiamusi, since it serves as the rear area, Zhang Minghui will not make the same mistake twice. He does not want the tragedy of Maoershan to happen again, so the number of the baggage regiment exceeds 4,000. Zhang Minghui organized a defense brigade of 1,000 people in the entire army.

Those who stayed behind in Jiamusi, all institutions and medical services were moved to Jiamusi, and their family members moved to Jiamusi with the troops!

During the time when the Japs were attacking Pingjin, Zhang Minghui, Yang Jingcheng and others were certainly not idle. In order to reduce the pressure on Pingjin, Zhang Minghui issued various combat appointments, but he did not expect that Pingjin would be lost too quickly!

Due to the outbreak of the All-out Anti-Japanese War, more and more Japanese troops broke into the Chinese battlefield. The number of those who attacked Pingjin was 60,000, and the number of those who stayed behind must be even more, at least more than 300,000. Of course, after 1938

The little devils on the Chinese battlefield have never bet more than 1 million, and sometimes it can be said to be as high as 7 million (this number may be somewhat inaccurate, but this is what the data records!)

In order to relieve the pressure on Beijing and Tianjin, Zhang Minghui issued an order to carry out a multi-faceted attack on the Japs.

Qiqihar will attack Baicheng, Harbin will attack Songyuan, and Mudanjiang will attack Dunhua. Of course, this is just the beginning...

On July 11, 1937, the Japanese cabinet decided to divide its troops into five groups and attack Pingjin.

The first route: the former North China Garrison Army, the Zhengsan Infantry Brigade by the river; the 11th Independent Brigade of the Kwantung Army, the Suzuki Shigeyasu Independent Mixed Brigade, led by the Rehe soldiers out of Gubeikou and on standby in the northern suburbs of Peiping.

Second route: The Kwantung Army under the command of Hideki Tojo and the Chahar Dispatch Corps were independently combined into the 1st Brigade, the Sakai Hoji Brigade, which also advanced from Rehe to Peiping and captured Peking Shahe Town;

The third route: Kawagishi Bunzaburo's 20th Division of the North Korean Garrison Army, along Shanhaiguan Pass, invades the area south of Peiping;

The fourth route: Itagaki Seishiro's 5th Division rushed from Japan to North China by sea and cooperated with the navy to land in Tanggu;

Fifth route: Saburo Ando's 2nd Flight Group, 20 aircraft flew to Tianjin.

Facing 60,000 incoming Japanese troops, Song Zheyuan led the 29th Army to defend in a hurry.

On July 31, Japan was finally outnumbered, resulting in the fall of Beijing and Tianjin. After that, Japan formulated further strategies:

First, attack along Jinpu Road and plan for Shanghai, East China and other places;

Second, go south along the Pinghan Road, seize the Central Plains, and advance towards Central China and the Yangtze River;

Third, advance westward along Pingsui Road, occupy Shanxi, and control the entire North China.

Japan had planned for a long time and relied on its strong military strength to successfully attack Beiping and Tianjin, but it led to the path of militarism. The Chinese defenders were not afraid of powerful enemies and rose up to resist, awakening the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese nation and laying the foundation for the formation of the anti-Japanese united front.

, made the first contribution.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Pingjin could barely resist the Japanese attack. However, after the Qilugou Bridge Incident, the Battle of Nanyuan broke out on July 28, 1937. The Chinese and Japanese armies exchanged fire in an all-out manner. The Japanese Army and Air Force joint forces attacked the troops stationed in Nanyuan.

Initiated by the 29th Army Military Headquarters and its directly affiliated units

The Battle of Nanyuan was a turning point in the Pingjin Anti-Japanese War. In this battle, the Chinese Army not only lost two generals: Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division (the two first to die for their country on the anti-Japanese battlefield).

general), and the fall of Nanyuan forced 29

The army began to evacuate Peiping that night. From then on, Peiping and Tianjin began their eight-year occupation.

During the Battle of Nanyuan, the 29th Army's military training regiment stood firm in the southwest corner. Before Tong Linge led the training regiment to arrive for reinforcements, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army. All 923 student soldiers were killed in the battle, and none survived. The casualties were ten times that of the Japanese army.

These student soldiers who died in hand-to-hand combat were all students from universities and middle schools in Peiping. Most of them were active members of the December 9th Movement who came to join the army. The chief officer of the student corps was also a student of the Peking branch of the former Whampoa Military Academy. They were young and

although

Many people did not even know that they were about to lie down when the gunshots were fired, but they fought with the Japanese army at the cost of ten lives for one life. No wonder the Beijing newspaper at the time published the news: "The student soldiers of the 29th Army Military Training Group fought bravely against the enemy, and the entire regiment

Destroyed, so magnificent!"

Judging from the post-war situation, the outbreak of the July 7th Incident was somewhat accidental. At that time, the Japanese army was not ready for a full-scale invasion of China. The Japanese army did not make military deployments to fully occupy Beiping and Tianjin until the 20th. However, this incident again

It was inevitable, because Marco Polo Bridge and Wanping County, located in the throat of the south of Peiping, had always been the focus of surveillance by the Japanese army. The Japanese army had repeatedly provoked in an attempt to control this key point.

The Japanese army's control of Wanping meant cutting off the last external communication controlled by the Peiping defenders. From then on, Peiping's squadron had to survive under the Japanese bayonets regardless of supplies or mobilization. In that case, Song Zheyuan had only two options.

Go - either, deploy only symbolic troops in Peiping and withdraw the main force to the south, which is actually handing over Peiping and Tianjin. Then he, the chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee who has lost his territory, will be the end of it. Or, he can still operate in Peiping.

"Emperor of the Earth"

, the condition was naturally to be a puppet of the Japanese. The 29th Army, which was surrounded by nowhere, would not have a chance even if it wanted to resist.

Of course, according to the Japanese army's idea, it is the best result to create friction and issue a statement to scare away the Chinese defenders. The success of September 18th made the Japanese army very confident in this. This is also the reason why the Japanese army used "a soldier missing" (Private Shimura)

Kikujiro, considered missing at 10:30, 1

Returned to the team at 2:15. This person was shot dead by Sun Li's troops of the New First Army in Burma in 1944) and did not restrain his consciousness at all. The reason why the Japanese army did not make preparations for a full-scale war was not because it did not want to gain Peiping and Tianjin, but

It is because they think there is no need to mobilize troops at all.
