In this time and space, March 17, 1936 is destined to become a historic day. On this morning, the 8th Squadron of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Huabeitun Garrison in Japan held a ceremony in the squadron leader Hirano Pond. Under the leadership of Xiu Xiu, they set up camp between Huilong Temple and Dawayao, close to the Chinese garrison station at Marco Polo Bridge, and started a so-called exercise at 7:30 p.m. At about 21:45, the Japanese army claimed that there was an explosion in the exercise area. There were gunshots and a soldier (Shimura Kikujiro) was "missing". He immediately forced himself to enter Wanping City, where the Chinese defenders were stationed, for search. The Chinese defenders' 001 Brigade School 002 Regiment of the 1st Division of the Military Academy sternly refused, and the Japanese army deployed for battle. , while pretending to negotiate with the Chinese side under the pretext of "gunshots" and "missing soldiers". At around 24:00, the authorities of the 29th Army in Peiping received a call from Matsui Tataro, the head of the Japanese secret service in Peiping. Matsui said: Japanese troops were in the suburbs of Marco Polo Bridge yesterday. During the exercise, I suddenly heard the sound of gunfire. I immediately called the team and found out that a soldier was missing. They suspected that it was looting by the Chinese garrison at Marco Polo Bridge. They requested an immediate search into the city.
If it hadn't been for Ouyang Yun's appearance, the Chinese protagonists would have been Ji Xingwen and his 129th Regiment, and then the 29th Army and Song Zheyuan. But now, because Ouyang Yun had already made arrangements for this day, the Japanese will now face The right object has changed,
At first, when Ouyang Yun deployed heavy troops in Wanping, Li Tieshu and others felt a little puzzled. From the perspective of the 59th Army and the 29th Army, the existence of the Xuebing Army in Wanping was a bit interesting, as if it was stuck in the 29th Army. The army is the same as a bone spur in the middle of the 59th Army. Of course, with the current relationship between Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun, Zhang Zizhong does not think it is a bone spur but a sharp blade that can support him at critical moments.
The sudden appearance of the 59th Army posed a considerable threat to the position of the Xuebing Army in North China. Before this, the Xuebing Army was the dominant force in the Hebei-Cha region. Now, there are two heroes. How did the 59th Army appear? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was Nanjing's manipulation. For this reason, Zhang Zizhong had a phone call with Ouyang Yun just after getting the news. The more contact he had with Ouyang Yun, the more times he visited Renqiu. , Zhang Zizhong felt more and more that Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army were unattainable. He was a veteran in the army and was not good in other aspects, but his military vision was quite vicious. Some people think they are miraculous skills, but in Zhang Zizhong's view, those are real murderous weapons that can determine the outcome of a battle. The scary thing is that the Xuebing R&D Institute is still making progress. Those weapons, those weapons There are further prospects for equipment,
Hutong has a complete espionage system in Nanjing, where there was talk of merging the 38th Division and the 132nd Division to form the 59th Army. Ouyang Yun already knew about it in Renqiu, so he was not surprised at all that Zhang Zizhong called at this time, and He also knew exactly what he wanted to express. At that time, Ouyang Yun only asked Zhang Zizhong three questions: "Mr. Zhang, will you commit treason?"
"You're kidding, how could that happen?"
"Would you do anything that harms the country and harms the people?"
"Of course not. I dare not say anything else. In terms of not disturbing the people, among our 29th Army, our 38th Division has done the best."
"Then would you commit a crime that would last forever because of one person's selfish desires?"
Facing the third question with too broad implications, Zhang Zizhong hesitated for a moment, but he still gave the answer Ouyang Yun wanted: "No."
Ouyang Yun smiled: "That's it, I won't do the three points above. In this case, Brother Zhang, we will always be comrades in arms and not enemies. After all, we are all Chinese, right? All the blood flowing from our bodies is the unique blood color of the descendants of Yan and Huang..."
"Ouyang, I understand, thank you."
"Thank you too."
At the end of the conversation on the phone, both of them laughed,
The commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army in Wanping is Fu Kaiming, the commander of the Xuebing 001 Brigade. Fu Kaiming was originally from the Xianyi Regiment. After the Tianjin victory, he was pulled out of the Dadao Special Operations Brigade by Ouyang Yun and was directly promoted to a squadron commander. After being promoted to brigade commander, if there is one biggest change in the Xuebing Army after the Tianjin Victory, it is that Ouyang Yun is not as "nepotistic" in the appointment of officers as before. It is undeniable that before this, Yuan Xianyi Regiment Officers who were born were not promoted as quickly as those of the former Xue Corps and the 129th Regiment. This undoubtedly caused some of the officers and soldiers of the former Xianyi Regiment to have complaints and become a bit passive and sabotage. This is why after the Langya was hit hard, One of the reasons why Shan Renxiong is so eager to perform, and after this change, the officers and soldiers of the Yuanxian First Regiment are now much better than before, both in terms of training enthusiasm and discipline.
It is quite interesting to think about the actions of the Japanese. Wanping now clearly belongs to the defense zone of the Xuebing Army, but Matsui's protest call was made to the 29th Army authorities. What is the mystery behind this? It turned out to be the Kwantung Army On the one hand, they were still obsessed with the dream of autonomy in North China, and because they were at odds with the Xuebing Army and the 38th Division, they placed their last hope on Song Zheyuan, and made a wish that if Song cooperated with the Japanese in carrying out the North China Autonomy Plan If so, the entire Jicha region, including Wanping, will be placed under the jurisdiction of the 29th Army.
The Japanese suffered several defeats in a row, and the Battle of Tianjin was even more humiliating. So far, the two sides have not reached an agreement on the issue of prisoners of war, but these guys who were born in the year of the dog do not have a long memory at all, and they are still doing Army World The second dream was that they could force Song Zheyuan to surrender with the power of the imperial army. They really underestimated Song Zheyuan's IQ. Song could bear the humiliation and let the Xuebing Army grow stronger, and could tolerate the separation of the 38th Division and the 132nd Division. The 59th Army couldn't see the situation clearly, so Matsui's phone call not only failed to deter them, but on the contrary, it was a disappointment. The remaining personnel of the 29th Army's military headquarters also gave a very shocking reply: "We want to enter Wanwan." Pingcheng search, yes, you can ask Commander Ouyang of the Xuebing Army if he agrees. Wanping is their defense area now. Chief Matsui, do you have Commander Ouyang's phone number? Do you want me to give it to you? Commander Ouyang's temper is not very good. You have to be careful, lest you don't get the advantage and end up in trouble... Hey, hey,..." "Hey, why did you die?"
Of course Matsui was going to die, he was already in trouble.
