The establishment of the Rehe Autonomous Province had caused shock in Peiping and Nanjing. Huang Guanghua reported their support for the Great Wall Campaign, and Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek in surprise.
"Niang Xipi, autonomy, autonomy, isn't this another warlord?" Chiang Kai-shek angrily banged the civilized stick, threw down the message and cursed loudly.
"Chairman, Rehe was lost from our hands and was taken back from the Japanese army!" Song Ziwen frowned slightly. He thought Hu Zhiyong did the right thing.
"Supporting the self-respect of the troops and holding weapons blueprints but not handing them over to the government, isn't this anarchism?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Song Ziwen and recited Hu Zhiyong's crimes.
"Drawings?" Song Ziwen smiled angrily: "You dare to answer their conditions? It seems that you have just ordered: [To resist Japan, we must first suppress the bandits. Before the bandits are wiped out, we must not talk about resisting Japan. Violators will be punished with the severest punishment.
]’s order.”
Chiang Kai-shek was speechless and said unwillingly: "Send a government commissioner and see their reaction!"
Feng Yuxiang and Ji Hongchang came from Zhangjiakou and brought greetings from General Zhang Zizhong. Thanks to the attack and establishment of the Rehe Autonomous Province, his Xilin Gol League was saved from being attacked by the Japanese army.
Hou Dashun said modestly: "We are relieved to have General Zhang Zizhong guarding our north. We are one family as we fight against Japan together!"
Ji Hongchang stood up and asked: "We are going to organize the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to go behind enemy lines. We are here to take advantage of the passage and ask for help! I wonder what Commander Hou can give us?"
"What do you want?" Hou Dashun looked at him slyly: "Man, I can give you fifteen thousand, and you can tell me the rest!"
"Fifteen thousand people? All armed?" Feng Yuxiang's tall figure couldn't help but tremble. He didn't expect the capital of Jehol Autonomous Province to be so generous.
"Of course!" Hou Dashun chuckled: "These are the volunteers we have taken in. They are training and waiting for the opportunity to be sent behind enemy lines."
Ji Hongchang looked at Hou Dashun: "I have people. What I need are guns, ammunition, food, clothing and funds."
"Is 20,000 guns enough? All 38 guns can be supplied behind enemy lines." Hou Dashun said: "I can't provide you with clothing. It's not difficult for you to need cloth."
Ji Hongchang was stunned: "You have 20,000 38 rifles?"
"Not only that, the troops I gave you are all Japanese standard weapons. If necessary, we will give you all the weapons we capture on the battlefield in the future!" Hou Dashun was delighted, his move surprised the two officials.
After discussing the necessary supplies, Ji Hongchang said happily: "I want to go see your troops."
"Okay!" Hou Dashun apologized and said, "I don't have time to accompany you two, please just watch. Guard Company!"
"Here!" The commander of the headquarters security company came in.
"Send a platoon to protect them and let them visit anywhere!"
"Yes, sir please!"
Ji Hongchang, 38, was born into a poor peasant family in Lutan Town, Fugou County, Henan Province. Influenced by his father, Ji Hongchang had patriotic ideas at an early age. In the autumn of 1913, Ji Hongchang, who was under 18 years old, dropped out of school and joined the army.
Feng Yuxiang served as a soldier. Because of his bravery and skill in fighting, he repeatedly made military exploits and was promoted from soldier to army commander.
On September 21, 1931, General Ji Hongchang, who was determined to resist Japan, was forced to step down by Chiang Kai-shek and go abroad to "investigate industry." When he was in Germany, Ji Hongchang repeatedly requested to visit the Soviet Union, but Chiang Kai-shek made every possible effort to make things difficult for him.
Granted a visa. In grief and anger, Ji Hongchang wrote quickly: "Drink the blood of beautiful women when you are thirsty, and eat stones when you are hungry. Come back to announce your destiny and restore our country."
In 1932, after the January 28th Incident broke out in Shanghai, Ji Hongchang immediately returned to China and lived in Tianjin after hearing the news. He secretly contacted the North China Political Security Bureau of the Communist Party of China. He went to Mount Tai to mobilize Feng Yuxiang to come out to organize armed resistance against Japan. Ji Hongchang destroyed his family to rescue the disaster.
, sold 60,000 yuan of property to buy weapons, and actively contacted scattered anti-Japanese armed forces in various places to prepare for launching troops to resist Japan.
When he learned that Hu Zhigang, Feng Yuguo, and Wei Yiping were all Communists, he excitedly held their hands: "So the troops here belong to you!"
Hu Zhigang forced a smile: "This was organized by a relative of mine. He handed over power to us, and his troops helped us fight the Japanese and protect the security of the autonomous province!"
Ji Hongchang glanced at Feng Yuxiang in the distance and said in a low voice: "I have submitted my application for joining the party, and I will become a comrade soon!"
"The Peking Underground Party has sent us a telegram. Your party membership has been recognized! Comrade Ji Hongchang, we will provide the materials, so go ahead and do it boldly!" Feng Yuguo said happily, shaking hands with Ji Hongchang for a long time.
Not loose.
Feng Yuxiang fell into deep thought. He felt incredible about the Jehol Autonomous Province and was even more envious of their equipment. Feng Yuxiang had long wanted to separate one side and become the overlord, but unfortunately all his subordinates defected to the National Government.
"You produce the equipment of the air force, armored force, artillery force, and infantry force?" How could Feng Yuxiang believe that the Jehol Autonomous Province has such capabilities and productivity.
Hu Zhigang nodded: "Here is our newly established second arsenal. Our first factory is not here. The aircraft and tanks were given to us by Stalin, and we produce all other weapons ourselves!"
"Amazing!" Ji Hongchang shouted and came over: "You have the best infantry weapons in China!"
"No, it's the best infantry weapon in the world!" Su Xiqing came over and added: "We don't equip machine guns because we don't need them. For long-range artillery fire, we have rocket launchers, howitzers, field artillery, and for short-range artillery fire, we have artillery fire, throwing
Cartridges; rifles, sniper rifles and submachine pistols are all the most lethal bursts or snipers in close combat. Little devils can't escape our attacks from near or far!"
"The weapons are good, but it's a pity that you don't release them outside!" Feng Yuxiang sighed and stared at the training soldiers with nostalgia.
"Can you guarantee that the weapons will not be taken away by the Japanese army? Can you guarantee that the weapons will not be used by the Kuomintang to fight the civil war?" Su Xiqing told him with a serious look: "If the secrets of the weapons are mastered by the Japanese army, our country will soon fall!"
"
Feng Yuxiang was shocked and nodded in understanding: "You are right, we can't compare to the military productivity of the little devils!"
Hou Dashun was bowing his head and making a plan when the guard came in: "Commander, the Third Division of the First Army of the Border Defense sent a man claiming to be a government commissioner, and he asked to see you."
"Special correspondent?" Hou Dashun was stunned: "He wants to be the special correspondent of Rehe?"
"Yes, he was personally appointed by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. His name is Yang Jie. He is currently the chief of staff of the Peking Branch of the Military Commission and the commander-in-chief of the North China 8th Corps. He is fighting on the front line of the Great Wall."
Hou Dashun chuckled and said: "I think he is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, let him come in. Humph, you bullshit special commissioner, I don't have such a position here!"
As the deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission and the president of the Army University, Yang Jie sighed as he walked. The soldiers who had just changed into spring uniforms, the grass green American military uniforms were particularly eye-catching. Especially the wolf head badge on the head, which seemed to swallow up all the enemies.
Only if you go down will you be willing to do so!
"Good weapons, good soldiers, good clothes, the third young master of the Hu family is really amazing!"
Hou Dashun welcomed Yang Jie into the reception room. Hou Dashun said happily: "Coffee, green tea, red wine, I wonder which one you prefer, sir?"
"Let's have a cup of green tea!" Yang Jie, 44 years old, went to Kunming to enter the Yunnan Army Crash Course in 1905 and studied at the Baoding Army Crash Course. In 1900, he went to the 10th Artillery Section of the Japanese Army Cadet School to study artillery military command, and the Japanese Army
Graduated from the 15th class of the university.
The knowledgeable principal of the military academy was shocked when he saw Hou Dashun: "So young? He is less than twenty-five years old, right? He is the commander here?"
"General Yang, I am entertaining you as a senior and an anti-Japanese hero. Please don't mention the matter of the special commissioner!" Hou Dashun held the tea cup, as if Yang Jie dared to say no, he would not be allowed to drink the cup of tea.
"Hahahaha!" Yang Jie laughed and said happily: "The special correspondent is bullshit, but I, Yang Jie, am not!"
"Please!" Hou Dashun smiled with satisfaction and respectfully handed the tea cup to the long-famous military strategist with both hands.
The two sides sat down, and Hou Dashun asked about things on the front line. Yang Jie sighed: "The gate of Yiyuan, a garrison of the 116th Division of the 53rd Army, was occupied by the Japanese army. If it hadn't been for your strong support to Lengkou, I'm afraid it would have been dangerous there! On the 11th, the Japanese army
The 16th Brigade concentrated its forces with the cooperation of the artillery team, flying team and chariot convoy, and stormed towards Gubeikou. The defenders fought bravely and counterattacked, but suffered heavy losses. By the 12th, Gubeikou fell, and the 25th Division retreated to positions around Nantianmen.
On the 13th, the 2nd Division of the 17th Army took over the defense of the 25th Division. The 83rd Division went into battle the next day. After repelling the Japanese army, the two sides faced off. From April 21st, the 16th Brigade of the Japanese Army deployed more than ten aircraft and 30 tanks.
With the support of more than one vehicle and dozens of artillery pieces, they attacked in three directions the Badaolouzi, Tianjiazhuang, and Jiepaiyu positions near Nantianmen. Part of the fortifications were destroyed, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, but they are still resisting tenaciously."
Hou Dashun listened carefully and said to Yang Jie: "We have just established the army, and it is already very difficult to defend such a large place. If the Japanese army dares to attack Duolun County and Guyuan, we will send powerful troops to attack!"
"Commander Hou, I would like to ask, do you want to separate one side or follow the government's orders to fight against Japan together?" Yang Jie asked slyly.
"We will not separate one party from another, but we will not support the current government to attack various parties and factions! We will not rely on a government that is unpopular and unpopular!" Hou Dashun said sarcastically at the current ruling party.
"So you want to be an independent company?" Yang Jie asked further.
"No! We unite the people and parties who are resisting Japan. We will join forces with whoever resists Japan."
"Well said!" Ji Hongchang clapped his hands and walked in. Behind him, Feng Yuxiang also smiled: "The imperial envoy can't persuade them. I will also oppose Chiang Kai-shek's resistance to Japan!"
Seeing these two people appear, Yang Jie smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jiang will not listen to us!"
"That's why we won't listen to him!" Hou Dashun stood up and gave up his seat, firmly telling Yang Jie: "The best defense is to attack. You want to defend the front line of the Great Wall. Once one part is breached, other places will be hit immediately.
He is not a clever military strategist, if we let him command us, Rehe will still fall into the hands of the Japanese army!"
Yang Jie smiled and said: "You are right! The purpose of my coming is not to be a special commissioner, but to take a look at your military. You two must have visited it, can you walk with me again?
?”
"Okay!" Feng Yuxiang was happy: "Don't even look at the troops here once. Even if you look at them every day, you will find that they are different! Unexpectedly, I saw a large number of Americans and Soviets here. They also
I’m learning the military here!”
"What?" Yang Jie was surprised: "Those people are not instructors here, but they are studying here?"
Hou Dashun laughed: "They are our tank and aircraft trainers, and we are their army trainers. We learn from each other, all for the sake of resisting Japan!"
"They are also resisting Japan!" Yang Jie was even more surprised. It was really rare for foreigners to come to China to resist Japan.
"The airport in Jinzhou was the result of our three-party cooperation that captured six Little Japanese planes. This battle was a surprise attack by our special forces, with the U.S. Air Force flying the planes, and the Soviet airport commander and ground crew. To tell you the truth, we hired them at a high price.
The contract is for three years!" Hou Dashun talked non-stop, and everyone listened with interest.
"Let's go, I'm going to take a look at your air force!" Hearing that there were air force and tank troops here, Yang Jie couldn't sit still anymore!
