In this battle, the Shanxi Army suffered countless casualties. Datong, Taiyuan and other large and medium-sized cities fell one after another. The Japanese propaganda media suddenly became active again, trumpeting in newspapers that Itagaki Seishiro "defeated the China Thirty Years with half a division."
Ten thousand troops", and the pro-Japanese faction in China were also inspired and took the opportunity to speak nonsense, and the domestic pessimistic atmosphere about the war of resistance began to rise again...
Hu Weidong couldn't help frowning after learning that Niangzi Pass had been lost, but it didn't take long for a smile to appear on his lips again, "As expected of Itagaki, but don't be too proud, you are just a threat now.
My escape route, and I am already about to cut off your retreat..."
"Capture Peiping, let's see if he withdraws!" Hu Weidong's suggestion immediately won the support of a group of militants in the North China General Front Committee. Even the Communists who were a little worried at the beginning, after understanding the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line
After learning that his "Myna" had already mobilized in the Central Plains border area and could guarantee continuous support to Zhongtiao Mountain, he immediately changed his mind and expressed support for Hu Weidong's suggestion.
Seeing the heavy artillery of the Heavy Artillery Brigade of the 15th Army and the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 115th Division, as well as the densely packed aircraft in the sky, the commander of the Japanese North China Front, General Touichi Terauichi, was horrified. He sent a letter to Hu Weidong saying, "Beiping, a famous historical city.
If it is destroyed in the flames of war, it will be your fault and mine."
"If China can rise, all my chamber pots will become cultural relics; if they are still beaten into my home like now, what is the use of having more national treasures?" Hu Weidong's reply has been repeated by "cultural figures" at home and abroad.
Accusation, but "Hu Weidong's Chamber Pot" has become a world-class cultural relic because of this allusion...
Although he said so, Hu Weidong only wanted to prevent the Japanese army from threatening him, and did not really want to destroy the ancient city of Peiping. Therefore, the 150,000-strong army that clearly had the ability to surround the city deliberately left a hole in the east. As a result,
Not long after the general offensive was launched, the Japanese troops in Peiping, with less than 20,000 troops, abandoned the city and fled eastward. However, they were intercepted halfway by the armored brigade of the 15th Army, which had been waiting for a long time. Hundreds of aircraft chased them and bombed them indiscriminately.
It was quickly defeated. General Juichi Terauchi, commander of the Japanese North China Front, fled into Tianjin with only a thousand remaining soldiers to join the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army that had just arrived here. There were more than 30,000 defenders in the city. It also faced the sea.
When there is really no other way, you can also ask for help from the navy. At this point, Juichi Terauchi breathed a sigh of relief...
But less than three days later, Juichi Templeuchi fell into a greater panic. Although the North China General Front Committee did not immediately launch an attack on Tianjin, the secret plan laid by Hu Weidong before the Anti-Japanese War was launched at the same time. Jidong, Pingxi and
Suddenly, large-scale riots broke out in the three places of Jizhong and central Hebei, involving more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians. Japan lost most of its gains in North China since the "Marco Bridge Incident", while the number of Chinese armed forces on the North China Plain suddenly dropped.
The number soared to more than 300,000. Although the combat effectiveness of the troops that had just transferred to the regular army was not yet good, the momentum was created. The Japanese army in Rehe was already seriously lacking in strength after the 26th Division, the main force, was taken away. After hearing the news
Even more afraid to resist the enemy, they directly abandoned Chengde and fled to Chifeng. It was within the combat radius of multiple airports of the Kwantung Army Flying Group and was much easier to defend than Chengde, which only had Jinzhou Airport that could dispatch aircraft for support.
Now Hu Weidong is a little depressed. After all, based on the current strength comparison between the two armies, the key is to eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese army. However, it is not entirely a bad thing for the Japanese to shrink their eggs. At least a plan he had set long ago can be implemented...
...
"Comrade Gao Jingting, the conditions in Northeast China are as difficult as those in the Dabie Mountains back then. You must be mentally prepared." Hu Weidong solemnly warned.
"Difficulty? I, Gao, have never been afraid." Gao Jingting raised his head and said with a smile. Hu Weidong said it was so scary. He didn't believe it in his heart. In the Dabie Mountains, the most difficult period was when hundreds of people fought against dozens of people.
Wan, why did you persevere and develop stronger?….
However, when Hu Weidong introduced the Kwantung Army's "group tribe" policy aimed at separating the Anti-Japanese Alliance from the people, the "puppet troops are only allowed to carry 5 bullets per person when leaving the city" regulations that almost cut off the source of ammunition for the Anti-Union, and the mixed situation within the Anti-Union,
After listing the unfavorable factors such as the party's weak organizational work one by one, Gao Jingting fully realized that his task was really extremely arduous.
Despite this, Gao Jingting, who has never been afraid of challenges, still accepted this important task without hesitation. "Please rest assured that the organization will complete the task!"
In fact, Hu Weidong could not find anyone more suitable for this task than Gao Jingting. First of all, his qualifications and status were high enough (Gao Jingting's status within the party was not low to begin with. After going to the Northeast, it was raised to a higher level. Within the party,
Among the senior military commanders (second only to Zhu, Peng, and Hu, and at the same level as Ye Su), it was enough to ensure that he obtained the leadership of the Anti-League without being hampered by those dogmatists and the Soviet Union; secondly, Gao Jingting’s superb guerrilla
The tactics will be of great help to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which will definitely be weak for a long time in the future; finally, Gao Jingting’s iron fist will help to twist the originally scattered Anti-Japanese Alliance into a rope as soon as possible, and his suspicious and sensitive character has played a decisive role in many times in history.
Because the traitors suffered huge losses until the resistance alliance was difficult to maintain, it was actually an advantage.
In order to keep it secret, the military commander of the 15th Army released false news that Gao Jingting, chief of staff and political commissar of the 42nd Division, had died unfortunately. At this time, Gao Jingting changed his name to Gao Yuan (he usually used this new name from then on) and led a group of more than a thousand cadres.
He and more than 800 special operations team members passed through the large gaps exposed by the Japanese army's shrinking troops, and successfully arrived at the forest and snow fields that had been occupied for more than 6 years. Although due to the limitation of the size of the army, Hu Weidong could not give Gao Jingting many men in quantity, but the quality was absolutely
It is the key guarantee that every soldier in the cadre regiment is at least qualified to serve as a military commander or political worker at the battalion or company level. Among them are all-round talents who are quite good at base area construction and even propaganda work, and the more than 800 soldiers sent out
The special operations team members of the 15th Army were seriously injured, but as long as the instructors are still there, the special operations group can always be rebuilt...
Although the conflict between the Japanese army and navy was greater than in history, seeing that the North China Front headquarters was about to be lost, Japanese Emperor Hirohito ordered the navy to immediately send troops to support. At the same time, the Japanese troops in the Shanxi battlefield also received orders to immediately return to Pingjin.
