"Master Yu, I have asked General Hu about this matter. He said it is difficult because there are currently less than 50,000 troops stationed in North Korea. Once the Japanese have follow-up army troops, North Korea will be in trouble!"
After hearing the staff officer's answer, Li Ningyu didn't say much, but after thinking about it, he said: "The only ability of the little devil now is on land. As long as the East China Sea Fleet can blockade the entire sea area between North Korea and Japan, even if it is small
The devil has a follow-up
Even though Kong Xiaoping had two armies and six divisions under his command, four of them were in the outskirts of Beijing. There were only two divisions at Marco Polo Bridge, while the Japs had six.
A division is fighting in the Marco Polo Bridge area!".
"Order! Immediately mobilize three field divisions from North Korea, and the naval fleet will be responsible for transportation. They must arrive outside Beijing within 18 hours to reinforce Kong Xiaoping's department. In addition, all fifteen newly developed and produced tanks will be sent to Kong Xiaoping.
!”
"yes!"
After Li Ningyu's order, the staff immediately sent a report to Hu Jingde who was stationed at the Far East Army Command. At the same time, a copy of the telegram was also sent to Kong Xiaoping.
But water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Although Kong Xiaoping's troops were also in the Far East Field Army's battle order, their mission at the time was to besiege the Beiyang warlords. Therefore, the weapons and equipment equipped were mainly light weapons, with large-caliber howitzers and heavy weapons configured.
The proportion is insufficient.
The Japanese army had been plotting for a long time and was well prepared. They had already mastered the situation of various units in the Far East and deployed corresponding attack troops. Therefore, at this time, the almost huge sound of artillery near the Marco Polo Bridge was caused by the Japanese mountain artillery, while the Far East Army could
Take action, hold your position, or launch several counterattacks to engage in close combat.
As the war progressed step by step, three hours later, Kong Xiaoping's troops had repelled more than ten Japanese charges. However, the casualties currently exceeded 4,000, while the Japanese casualties were less than 1,000. Although numerically, the Far East Army was in
It was a disadvantage, but it severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders.
At this time, Kong Xiaoping seemed to be at a loss in his temporary headquarters.
"Commander, this battle cannot continue like this, otherwise in the end we will not only be unable to defend Beijing, but our brothers will die in vain!" Liu Wenbin, commander of the 36th Division, said loudly, but Kong Xiaoping ignored him.
Instead, he stared closely at the military map, seemingly looking for a way to break the current situation.
But as the commander of the front-line troops participating in the war, Liu Wenbin, the commander of the 36th Division, became furious and continued: "Commander, we'd better withdraw from the front-line positions first! Because even on the front-line positions, our mortars and other
Small-caliber artillery can't hurt small children at all
The Japanese army's six divisions opposite were equipped with a military-affiliated artillery regiment. Each time they fired a salvo, there were more than 500 artillery shells, which hit our front-line positions directly. Every time, most of them were turned upside down.
Brothers all died in vain battles like this! Commander, we...".
With the roaring of gunfire in his ears, and the loud voice of Liu Wenbin, Kong Xiaoping finally got angry and said: "Liu Erluo, I know all the damn things you said! Now I order you to shut up immediately!".
After hearing Kong Xiaoping's foul language, the commanders of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Divisions in the command room were stunned on the spot. Although Kong Xiaoping had not led them into domestic operations for a long time, Kong Xiaoping had an easy-going personality.
, rarely use foul language common in the army to reprimand subordinates.
Since following Li Ningyu, it can be said that Kong Xiaoping has always been a victorious general. Otherwise, he would have become a major general commanding two armies in his thirties. At the same time, Kong Xiaoping is also a person Li Ningyu values because he is in the Far East Army.
The first-level military officers are usually major generals, but Kong Xiaoping himself only holds the rank of major general now.
However, after a short moment of silence in the command room, Kong Xiaoping, who was looking at the battle map, still said slowly without looking back: "Although there are six field divisions of the Little Japanese on the opposite side, and we only have two divisions, from now on
We are far inferior to them in terms of military strength, coupled with the inferiority in firepower, but have you ever thought about this question? Once I give the order to withdraw from the position and move closer to the 30th Army, we can avoid the enemy's sharp edge and reduce our casualties.
, but the little Japs will swagger into Beijing!”.
Kong Xiaoping stopped as he said this, turned around slowly, looked at the two division commanders Thirty-six and Thirty-seven with burning eyes, and then said: "We can temporarily evacuate the occupied area, but in Beijing,
What to do with two million people! How do you think the little devils will treat them?
Although they are not related to us, they are all our compatriots, our brothers, so I can tell you clearly now that I, Kong Xiaoping, will defend Beijing City to the death. If the little devil wants to enter Beijing City, he must first
Step over my dead body!".
After saying this, Kong Xiaoping left the command room with the guards and combat staff. After a moment of confusion, the two commanders of the Thirty-sixth Division and the Thirty-seventh Division seemed to be infected by the hidden meaning of Kong Xiaoping's words.
With blood-red eyes, he rushed to his forward position headquarters. Then the Japanese invaders and troops attacking Marco Polo Bridge discovered a strange phenomenon. Each of the Far Eastern soldiers on the opposite side had red eyes, and their murderous aura became even stronger.
.
After the July 7th Incident, in addition to the warring parties, there were naturally people who were concerned about the development of the incident. As Li Ningyu was in the Sansouci Palace, the one closest to him was naturally the German Emperor Wilhelm II. Although he was very concerned about this incident.
He learned about it relatively late, but through the report from the German Ambassador to China, he quickly learned the news.
Naturally, the first thing William II did was to go find Li Ningyu.
A staff officer whispered in Li Ningyu's ear: "Master Yu, His Majesty William is in the reception room!".
"Okay, I know!" Li Ningyu nodded in response.
After sorting out the documents in his hands, Li Ningyu stood up and said to the staff: "I will go out for a while. If Cai Songpo's telegram arrives, bring it to me in the reception room immediately!".
"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order in unison.
At this moment, Cai Songpo, who at a young age commanded the most elite high-mobility force in the Far East Army's battle sequence, was making an important decision.
At Cai Songpo's temporary headquarters, a senior colonel chief of staff said seriously: "General Cai, the enemy troops attacking from the direction of Tianjin are the 44th, 45th, and 46th divisions of the Japanese army, followed by
There are five more divisions!”.
"Oh, there are eight divisions together. It seems that the enemy wants to destroy me! What is the enemy's firepower configuration?" Cai Songpo said jokingly and asked again.
"This group of enemies is light infantry and cavalry!"
Hearing the chief of staff's answer, Cai Songpo showed a contemptuous smile, and then said to himself: "It seems that the enemy has planned it for a long time and arranged the combat troops based entirely on the conditions of our ministries. Haha, but this time
They are wrong!".
