In the southern suburbs of Huairou, Qin Dechun met with Ouyang Yun, who was leading the army passing by. At the current war, as the top official of the three major forces of Hebei, Chacha, Pingjin, and Tianjin, although there were telegrams to exchange information, it was necessary to meet and discuss in detail. Just last night , the 108th Division of the Japanese Army broke through the South Great Wall. The vanguard troops had exchanged fire with the local security forces in Changping. The result is self-evident. After putting up a certain degree of resistance, the security forces withdrew into Changping City. The security forces The defeat caused a certain degree of commotion in Changping City. Fortunately, He Zhengjiang's mechanized infantry brigade arrived as soon as possible. With the courage of those artillery and chariots, the people's hearts in Changping City were slightly stabilized.
After He Zheng arrived in Changping, he first organized manpower to dig out fortifications in the northern suburbs. In addition, he sent a battalion of tank troops to ambush fifty kilometers east of Changping as a response force for the follow-up troops. At about 9 a.m., the Japanese 108th Division The regiment's advance team and tank wing launched a tentative attack on the newly established position of the mechanized infantry brigade. After losing four Beuzhans and one Chilo, they decisively gave up the attack and began to wait for the arrival of the main force.
While the mechanized infantry brigade continues to strengthen the fortifications, it is also waiting for the arrival of its own large forces. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if nothing unexpected happens, Changping will become a turning point in the Second Great Wall War of Resistance.
It was less than a month since the last meeting between Qin Dechun and Ouyang Yun. At that time, Song Zheyuan was assassinated and the security forces in Peiping rebelled. As a result, with the help of the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army, Qin Dechun was able to control the situation, and the two armies were closely related. The relationship started from this,
In less than a month, Qin Dechun looked a lot more haggard. When Ouyang Yungang saw this slender old man, he saw the mottled hair accidentally exposed under his military cap, and he felt very sad. This man who personally signed the "... The veteran soldier of the Qin-Turkish Agreement was once regarded as a pro-Japanese element. However, only those who have real contact with him and understand this period of history will know how helpless she was when she made important choices, just like a few days ago. Ouyang Yun learned from the telegram that Han Fuqu actively organized troops to resist Japan. Only then did Ouyang Yun know how far the distance between this so-called history and reality was.
The Xuebing Army had no intention of stopping in Huairou. Although the soldiers were exhausted after a morning of marching, no one complained about being tired. The squad leader, platoon leader, and even the company commander and battalion commander all walked. Some people were carrying machine guns or bullet boxes. Under Ouyang Yun's conscious influence, this unit became more and more similar to another unit that Qin Dechun had the honor to see. If he hadn't witnessed the student army with his own eyes, it would never have Looking at some of the growth process, he almost doubted that this was actually the subordinate unit of GCD.
Seeing Qin Dechun from a distance, Ouyang Yun asked the driver to drive the car to the side of the road, then got out of the car and greeted him. From a distance, he shouted loudly: "Commander Qin, brother."
It was a bit of a weird title, but Qin Dechun seemed to be more comfortable with it. He strode up to meet him, stretched out his hands from afar, and shouted: "Commander Ouyang, little brother, I have been waiting for you."
The guards and staff around the two followed closely. As the top officer of the other main force in this mixed force, Tong Linge got into the same car with Ouyang Yun after the force started. His relationship with Qin Dechun turned out to be old comrades-in-arms. , Old brothers, now there are more superiors and subordinates. When they met, they looked at each other and smiled to show their tacit understanding. After everyone exchanged greetings, Qin Dechun went straight to the topic and asked: "Commander Ouyang, it seems that you are really ready to respond to public opinion. The outcome will be determined by fighting, but in this way, it plays into the hands of some people. As far as I know, originally, the Japanese were not completely ready to go to war with our country. The main reason why they are so urgent this time is that they feel Due to the threat from your department, your student army has now become a thorn in the side of the Japanese."
How could someone like Qin Dechun, who has been in the military for many years and has been in charge of politics and diplomacy, fail to see the mystery? On the surface, the Japanese army's large-scale provocation was just for the long-planned annexation of North China and the all-out invasion of China. However, as Qin Dechun said, Japan was not fully prepared for war. Their sudden early launch this time was certainly due to the butterfly effect caused by Ouyang Yun's sudden appearance. On the other hand, it was learning The growth of the Japanese-hating troops of the Bingjun has seriously threatened the Japanese army's North China strategy and the safety of Puppet Manchuria. Based on the current expansion speed of the Xuebingjun and its army-building ideas, it is not difficult to imagine that once it becomes strong, the Puppet Manchuria What kind of situation will they be in? When the time comes, even if the Japanese don't provoke the Xue Bing Army, Ouyang Yun will definitely launch a counterattack. The Japanese's strategic purpose this time is not so much to invade North China as to eliminate the Xue Bing Army. The anti-Japanese armed forces headed by Bingjun,
Not only Qin Dechun can see this, I believe anyone with a little bit of strategic vision will also know it clearly. Of course, the targeted methods adopted by each force are different. For example, Zhang Zizhong’s 57th Army and the 29th Army were threatened by their own safety. Looking at the overall situation, they chose to fight side by side with the Xuebingjun without hesitation. However, the attitude of some other domestic forces is much more intriguing. The most obvious one is the Nanjing government. On the one hand, it vigorously advocates the national resistance to Japan in newspapers. , on the one hand, they ignored the voices of their compatriots at home and abroad and still pursued the policy of settling the country first before resisting foreign aggression. They even added insult to injury and took away the only heavy artillery brigade that Han Fuqu in Shandong could rely on as a weapon.
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Commander Qin, I understand the Japanese people's thoughts very well. However, what I did was not entirely motivated. Speaking of which, my brother's backhand in Yanqing gave me considerable inspiration. At present, the people's support is available. Although our regular army is limited, we still have nearly 10 million people. If the power of the people is used properly, it may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory. Brother, you really didn't say anything about it. If nothing else, at least the little devils can learn from it now. We are much more civilized. I heard that some people in Shandong now use Nishio Shouzao, whom the Confucian generals call little devils. To be able to become so well-behaved, Nishio Shouzao must have learned the lessons of Kawagishi Bunzaburo."
Qin Dechun smiled faintly, but in a flash, his expression became quite solemn, and said: "I have no choice but to do this. It is the duty of our soldiers to defend our country and defend our country. It is our duty as soldiers. Our soldiers are incompetent, but we have to let the common people do it." Sacrifice is really a shame for us, and we will never mention it again."
Ouyang Yun looked at him and his expression became serious, "That's the reason. I have been instilling the concept of disciple soldiers in my brothers. It is because of this concept. Brother, we have a good understanding. To be honest, I Originally I strongly disapproved of this method of warfare, but considering the current strength of our country, this is not a bad way. It is everyone’s duty to protect our country. Our people can have this kind of awareness, which can be regarded as a service to you and me. The soldiers have sounded the alarm and set an example. Brother, stop talking nonsense. This time the Great Wall War is related to the survival of you, me and the 57th Army. I think, no matter what, this time we have to work together in the same boat. North China In the front army, I still don’t know who is in charge, but one thing is certain, whether it is Seiji Kozuki or Juichi Terauchi, they both hope to fight a decisive battle with our main force. As you said, the Japanese sent troops to North China. If it is true that we want to eliminate the three of us, then the decisive battle between the enemy and us will happen sooner or later. In this case, instead of passively defending, we might as well take the initiative. In this way, not only will we have the choice of the main battlefield, but more importantly One thing is that the morale of our military and civilians will not drop to the point of being unusable due to too many failed retreats, what do you think?"
