The Kuomintang troops retreated from North China, and Jiang Xiaoxian's Third Gendarmerie Regiment and the Blue Clothes Secret Service were also forced to withdraw from Peiping. The Kuomintang authority's rule in Peiping was greatly weakened.
The Beiping Municipal Committee of the Northern Bureau established the Beiping Municipal Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Hu Zhigang finally got in touch with the party organization. In the summer and autumn of 1935, the Yellow River burst, and Shandong and Hebei suffered major floods. The Kuomintang government did not provide relief to countless victims who were suffering from hunger and cold.
, a large number of victims flocked to both Beijing and Tianjin.
The Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China instructed the Peiping Underground Party to actively participate in organizing flood relief activities. Peng Tao and others came to the Jehol Autonomous Region, hoping that they could take in these refugees. Feng Yuguo did not hesitate and sent the militia to bring back more than 200,000 refugees.
Peiping rushes back to the backlog of goods shipped from Los Angeles.
Gu Feng was appointed as the Provisional Municipal Party Committee Secretary and the Youth League Municipal Committee Secretary of Beiping, Peng Tao was appointed as the Organization Minister, and Zhou Xiaozhou was appointed as the Propaganda Minister. Li Changqing was the special commissioner of the Provincial Party Committee. This group of people watched the construction of Rehe and the development of the Party and gave high
evaluation.
"The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has joined forces in Shaanxi, and our party finally has a base!" Li Changqing excitedly told Hu Zhigang and other three major leaders of this important news.
"What do you need us to do?" Feng Yuguo smiled happily. He had known this news for a long time.
"Their economy, materials and ammunition are very difficult. I will trouble you after I go back and report to my superiors." Gu Feng said unceremoniously, observing the weapons of the civilian army and the regular army, and said with envy: "It's really
I want to stay and do it with you!"
"My brother did all this." Hu Zhigang smiled: "He allowed our party to develop here and handed over the local government to our party. The militia troops are our armed forces, and the regular army is still his subordinates."
"Oh?" Peng Tao looked at Hu Zhigang in surprise: "Your brother is not here?"
"He -" Hu Zhigang shook his head: "He is a businessman, abroad, in Los Angeles, the United States."
"No wonder!" Li Changqing understood. With such a large investment in Rehe, without the support of a person with capital, it would be impossible to achieve this. The air force and tank troops of the army alone are also the most powerful troops they have ever seen.
"The economic power is not in your hands?" Peng Tao was stunned.
"The power is in my hands, and I cannot make the decision alone." Hu Zhiyong pointed at Feng Yuguo and his wife: "We are a government department, and we have to ask my brother for instructions on military and political investment plans. It's not that he is worried, but he has a purpose to develop.
"
Li Feiyan had already joined the organization. She smiled after seeing the looks on several people's faces: "Just say hello when you use money. If he dares not let me spank him!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.
At this time, the news that the "Ji-Cha Administrative Committee", which will be joined by the traitor Wang Yitang and others, is about to be established, makes the political situation in Peiping increasingly bad. Yenching University is preparing to launch a petition campaign to combat the conspiracy of the Japanese and puppet traitors to seek autonomy for the five provinces of North China.
North China's economic interests and even territorial sovereignty were worrying. Feng Yuguo said to the four distinguished guests: "You just organize students and workers. As a last resort, I will send militia to recover all 22 counties in eastern Hebei!"
"No!" Hu Zhigang hurriedly stopped Feng Yuguo and said to Li Changqing: "If he dares to implement autonomy, we will send troops, but we will not occupy this place."
"Why is this?" Peng Tao was stunned again.
"Jidong is a fertile plain, which is not conducive to defense. The Japs are about to invade China in an all-out way. It is impossible for our people and material resources to confront the island country. Rehe has natural advantages and cannot occupy Jidong and lose it.
"Hu Zhigang pointed outside and said: "The little devils have deployed 100,000 people around here, we have to be careful."
"Report, the Japanese army dispatched an infantry regiment of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, a light tank squadron and a field heavy artillery brigade to gather at Shanhaiguan on the 15th!" The combat staff officer walked up to Hou Dashun and loudly reported the enemy's situation.
"What's their motive?" Hou Dashun asked coldly.
"Forcing Song Zheyuan to surrender, he asked him to be the governor of the autonomous government of the five provinces." The combat staff quickly replied.
"Issue a statement: Anyone who dares to split the country and seek autonomy, the Jehol Army will be the first to rise up to oppose it! Warn the representatives of the local powerful Kuomintang faction in North China in the Northeast that the Jehol Army will eradicate those who surrender to the enemy and betray the country at all costs.
Traitors and warlords!”
"yes!"
"Ma Qingde!"
"Here!" Ma Qingde, commander of the tank corps, now had two tank and armored divisions in his hands. When he heard the call, he knew something good was coming.
"Pull your troops out and cooperate with an infantry division of the Second Army to destroy the Japanese troops in Shanhaiguan!" Hou Dashun became cruel. He wanted to eat up the most aggressive light tank squadron and field heavy artillery brigade.
"Yes!" Ma Qingde agreed and hurriedly asked: "What should I do after the fight is over?"
"Retreat immediately after the battle!" Hou Dashun glared at him sternly: "We don't want the territory, we just want the Japs' heads!"
"yes!"
The tank troops lived in Jinshan Town, and the large troops were dispatched quickly. Li Changqing and the four of them saw this mighty division. When they heard that they were going to Shanhaiguan, 15 kilometers north of Qinhuangdao, they all stared nervously.
"It's okay." Hu Zhigang smiled softly: "Qinglong County is under our control, and there is an armed division there that belongs to our party. Besides, Commander Hou must be making big moves, and it will be a big show."
Going south to Qinhuangdao, we must break through the Japanese defense lines in Ningcheng and Jianping. Su Xiqing's guard battalion had already been sent out, and a fierce offensive was launched at this time. The guard battalion that came out of the tunnel, after receiving instructions from the tank army to assemble, used
He held a rocket launcher and began to bombard the Japanese defense line at close range.
Suddenly hit at close range, the Japanese army's long-range artillery position was destroyed first. They did not expect that the Jehol Army, which had been calm for more than a year, would dare to choose a breakthrough here.
"Let's go!" Taking advantage of the panic of the Japanese artillery fire, tanks and armored vehicles began to dispatch from the pass. Immediately afterwards, a cavalry division galloped forward and quickly pounced on the Japanese army in Hiraizumi.
"Good boy!" Peng Tao, the four of them are all students. They have never seen such a formation before.
"Look!"
Following Li Changqing's finger, a group of infantrymen began to march over with towed rocket launchers. Hou Dashun said to Chen Wanxin who sent out troops: "Don't worry, keep heading south. There is still a division of infantry in Qinglong County to cooperate with you!"
"Don't worry, we will cover the smooth retreat of the tanks and armored forces." Chen Wanxin knew clearly that their troops were acting as cover in this battle, and the main force was tanks.
"Ma Xiandeng's cavalry has three divisions moving eastward. I believe the Japanese troops in Chengde are taking care of themselves." Hou Dashun smiled coldly: "If the Japanese troops in the east dare to mobilize, we will make a full breakthrough and fight this battle!"
"Understood!" Chen Wanxin knew that the troops had not fought for a long time, and the soldiers felt bored and suffocated. Once this battle started, it would be the most powerful battle in the past few years.
Nanjiro became the commander of the Kwantung Army in December 1934. At the time of the September 18th Incident, Nanjiro was the Minister of War of Japan, and he had already had bad ideas about the invasion of China. After taking office as the commander of the Kwantung Army, he spared no effort to
Make Japan's colonial rule over Manchuria more systematic and concrete.
He first made adjustments to the military and political circles of the puppet Manchuria. He replaced Zheng Xiaoxu, the prime minister of the puppet Manchuria, and replaced him with Zhang Jinghui.
, served as Speaker of the Puppet Manchukuo Senate.
In response to the sudden attack of the Jehol Army, he urgently ordered the Japanese troops in other places to be on standby to prevent the Jehol Army from fully launching its attack. When he received intelligence and determined that the Jehol Army was going to attack the first mixed brigade, the light tank squadron and the field heavy artillery brigade, he understood
Why did they launch this war?
"Baga! Quickly order the troops there to withdraw to the navy warships, and planes will take off to monitor closely!"
"Commander, don't you teach them a lesson?" the chief of staff was surprised. This was to avoid fighting and weaken the dignity of the imperial army.
"They have anti-aircraft weapons, and we can't take advantage." Nanjiro said quietly, and had no choice but to call the navy and ask for support.
Qinglong County is 128 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao City, and the south of Zushan Town is 45 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao Port. The Japanese army evacuated urgently, and the tanks and armored troops marching here had nothing to fight.
It was impossible to attack Qinhuangdao because the Japanese army was backed by a powerful navy. Hou Dashun sent a telegram in time, ordering them to move westward and launch activities in the Xinglong County area.
When Hu Zhigang sent his four superiors away, he excitedly told them: "We have sent six armed workers' teams behind enemy lines, and the target is near Xinglong County."
"It's easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. Your brother is really not an ordinary person!" Li Changqing understood that these were all benefits brought by Hu Zhiyong's troops.
Xinglong County has high mountains, steep slopes, and crisscrossing river valleys. It is a deep mountainous area with rugged terrain. In 1645, Emperor Shunzhi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, designated an 800-mile radius of Xinglong as the "Houlong Feng Shui Forbidden Land" and banned it for 260 years. "The mountains are full of forests and trees.
The sky was covered with innumerable beasts, and springs were springing up all over the place." This is a true portrayal of that time.
Hu Zhigang told Li Changqing: "Please ask the party to send leaders in time, Xinglong County cannot be lost anymore."
"Okay, I'll contact my superiors when I get back!" Li Changqing excitedly held the hands of the four Feng Yuguo people, feeling sincerely grateful for their development and opportunities.
On the 25th, Yin Rugeng hung five-color flags in Tongzhou, declared that 22 counties in eastern Hebei were "autonomous and independent" from the Nanjing government, established the "Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government" and "County Government Provisional Maintenance Committee", and appointed himself "Administrative Chief".
However, a large number of troops moved towards this area the next day. Yin Rugeng was frightened when he saw it, and the Jehol Army really sent troops! He hurriedly fled to Tianjin, and most of his men also fled.
"Baga!" The Rehe army ruined the Japanese army's plan, which made the emperor furious.
"If we want to have a full-scale war against China, we must wipe out this hostile force!" Major General Tada Shun went to Tianjin to serve as the commander of the Chinese garrison. He said to the Emperor after returning home.
"How to fight? How to destroy them?" the emperor asked dissatisfiedly.
"Send troops!" Tada Shun said viciously: "If we can't capture even a single Rehe, wouldn't it be a delusion to occupy China?"
"send troops!"
"send troops!"
People from the Army Ministry and the Navy Ministry all supported Tada Shun's ideas and believed that the time had come for a decisive battle with the Rehe Army.
"Send troops!" The emperor also understood that this battle must be fought, and the Rehe Army must be eaten up with heavy troops: "Deploy the Chongteng Detachment from Taiwan, the 3rd, 9th, 13th, and 101st Divisions and
A brigade of field heavy artillery, a regiment of independent field heavy artillery, 300 aircraft, 200 tanks, fight to the death with the Jehol Army!"
