Chapter 257 256. Restoration of Beijing

When the National Revolutionary Army captured Jinan, Zhang Zongchang's base in Shandong was lost. Zhang Zuolin ordered the Beiyang Army to retreat across the board and readjusted the defense line. Dezhou and Shunde were the first line of defense, and Cangzhou and Shijiazhuang were the second line of defense. Take Machang and Baoding as the third line of defense.As for the front of the Jinpu line in Zhili Province, Sun Chuanfang's army is located in Dacheng and the area west of it, while Zhang Zongchang's army and Wang Qi's troops are stationed near Cangzhou. After the Jinan tragedy, in order to avoid conflict with the Japanese army, the National Revolutionary Army withdrew the main force of the revolutionary army to Laiwu, Zhonggong, and Qihe on May 4, 2017. On May 6, the 95th Division of the Revolutionary Army crossed the river to occupy Yancheng Town, Yucheng on May 9, En County on May 11, and Dezhou on May 13.

After Dezhou was occupied by the revolutionary army, the Beiyang army retreated to Cangzhou in three routes, and the revolutionary army pursued it across the board.Zhang Zongchang's cavalry, more than a thousand White Russian soldiers, and five columns of steel armored vehicles assembled in Cangzhou, trying to defend the front line of Cangzhou and Baoding. Sun Chuanfang's army guarded Qingyun and Yanshan, and Chu Yupu's troops guarded the western area of ​​Cangzhou. Dou Lianfang's ministries guarded Dusheng Town and Shahe Bridge, Fengjun's third and fourth front troops guarded Gaoyang and Baoding, Zhang Zuoxiang was between Tianjin and Machang, and Ji Jinchun was near Gaobeidian.

On May 31, the Beiyang Army counterattacked along the Jinpu Railway in three routes. Chu Yupu commanded Xu Yuanquan and Zhang Jun's troops on the left, Zhang Jingyao commanded Lu Dianchen and Mao Siyi's troops in the center, and Kou Yingjie's troops on the right counterattacked respectively. On June 1, the Fang Zhenwu Division of the Fourth Army Corps of the Revolutionary Army attacked and advanced, occupying Zhangzhuang, Lifutai and other places.Chen Tiaoyuan of the Second Army occupied Nanpi, Yantai, Da'anzhuang and other places. On the morning of June 2, the Beiyang Army broke into Wanghai Temple, Leizhuang, and Machang.The revolutionary army then conquered Cangzhou.

On the Ping-Han line, Zhang Zuolin concentrated Ji Yiqiao, Gao Shuangying, Wan Fulin, Dou Lianfang and other troops in the Cizhou area, preparing to counterattack Zhangde, and deployed heavy troops in Baoding and Shijiazhuang.As early as March 7, 2017, Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was transferred from Lanfeng to Xinxiang to command the Zhangde military nearby, and Lu Zhonglin was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army. The First Cavalry Army reinforced Zhangde. On April 5th, the battle of Zhangde began. The battle was repeated and fierce. The stalemate lasted for more than 20 days. On April 29th, the revolutionary army began to counterattack and attacked across the board. The Beiyang army destroyed the Zhanghe Iron Bridge and the railway wires and retreated to Shunde. On May 8, the Korean Fuju Army occupied Shunde and arrived in Shijiazhuang on May 11.

Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army, also attacked from Pingshan after bitter battles at Yanmen, Wutai, Fanzhi, and Jingxing. On May 15, Yan Jun arrived at Fangshun Bridge. Fangshun Bridge was in the southwest of Baoding and northeast of Wangdu. On May 15, 2017, the Yan Xishan Department of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army arrived near the Fangshun Bridge, and was divided into two deployments: Shang Zhen was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and the commander-in-chief of the left army, and he was in charge of Fengyuxi, the first road. Zhang Yinwu of the Second Route had eight divisions in total; Xu Yongchang was the commander in chief of the Right Army, and Yang Aiyuan was the deputy commander of the 14 divisions.

On May 25, the Beiyang Army mobilized a large army from Gaoyang and Hejian to attack Dingzhou and Qingfengdian on May 25th, causing Yang Aiyuan's Second Army to suffer heavy casualties, and had to retreat to Dongting and Anguo. Fengzhen and Wangjiazhuang attacked fiercely, and the front line was in a dangerous situation. Yan Xishan ordered the frontline troops to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, and at the same time, he flew the reserve troops from Dingxian County and Shijiazhuang to go around the enemy's rear. , Tiantai Temple, Zhengjiazhuang, and Zhangdengzhen pursued, and the Beiyang Army retreated across the board on the 31st.

On the left wing, on May 17, all Zheng Dazhang's cavalry troops under Feng Yuxiang's command suddenly retreated. Yan Xishan called Feng Yuxiang immediately, and Feng replied: "According to the Beijing-Tianjin special detective report, the enemy forces on the Beijing-Han line are still strong. It seems advisable to combine the Beijing-Han, Jinpu, and Beijing-Sui roads to make an overall plan for advancing troops, and to advance all roads simultaneously to ensure a complete plan. Now, because the troops of Jinpu crossed the river and were disturbed by the Japanese, the rear contact has not yet been confirmed; and the deployment of each army It needs to be sorted out, there are a lot of remnant enemies between Jinpu and Jinghan, and the Jinghan side is not without worries." etc.Due to the sudden retreat of Feng's army, the Beiyang army took advantage of this opportunity to move its central troops to encircle Yan's left and right flanks. They fought bitterly in Mancheng, Yimuquan, and Kangguan.

The importance of the Battle of Fangshun Bridge is because it is equal to the battle in front of the gates of Beijing and Tianjin, and the Feng army has a strength of 300,000, with the third and fourth armies as the main body, and its command system is as follows: Generalissimo Zhang Zuolin of the Anguo Army, Chief Counselor Yang Yuting, Minister of Military Affairs He Fenglin, Commander Zhang Xueliang of the Third Army, Wan Fulin of the Eighth Army, Wang Shuchang of the Tenth Army, and Ji Jinchun of the Fifteenth Army.Yang Yuting, commander of the Fourth Army, has jurisdiction over Hu Yukun and Rong Zhen of the 16th and 17th Allied Armies, Ji Yiqiao of the 29th Army, Yu Zhishan of the 30th Army, and Zhang Xuecheng, commander of the Guard Brigade.

When Zhang Zuolin changed hands in Jinan, he originally planned to advocate a settlement of disputes and peace talks. He was willing to send all the troops out of the pass, regardless of the politics inside the pass. Opportunity, this is also the unique place of the Feng family, unlike the direct line of the Wan family, once defeated, they will have nothing to return to.However, Feng Zhang's plan to withdraw from the customs suddenly changed, because someone suggested to Feng Zhang that the revolutionary army's battle line had been stretched. Except for the Feng and Yan armies who were still accustomed to the northern climate, the rest were not convinced by the climate, and Feng Yuxiang was fickle, and Yan Xishan There are still conflicts between them, it is better to stick to Beijing and Tianjin, waiting for the situation to change.Therefore, Feng Zhang wanted to do it but stopped.

On May 19, Jiang Zhongzheng went from Xuzhou to Zhengzhou to discuss everything with Feng Yuxiang and Bai Chongxi. On the 28th, he went to Daokou and Liuwei to meet Feng Yuxiang. On the 30th, he went to Shijiazhuang to discuss with Yan Xishan. When the National Revolutionary Army marched into southern Shandong in late April 2017, it decided to join forces in the Pingjin plan. Later, due to the May 3rd tragedy in Jinan, the progress of the first army was slightly delayed, and Feng Yuxiang's second army refused to go deep alone. In the Shijiazhuang-Wuqiang-Fucheng area, the Third Group Army sent to Yan Xishan was the only strong enemy on the line of Dingxian, Wangdu, Fangshunqiao, and Wanxian, with more than ten thousand casualties. Yan repeatedly telegraphed Jiang Zhongzheng and Feng Yuxiang Begging for help, Jiang knew that there was no room for delay in joining forces, so he prepared the party affairs in Nanjing and rushed to the front for inspection. He appointed Zhu Peide as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy of the First Army, and also telegraphed Feng Yuxiang to order all the regiments of the First and Second Army to send troops before May 25. , Gathered at the Qingyun-Nanpi-Jiaohe-Wuqiang-Jinxian-Zhengding line to prepare for the offensive.

Zhang Zuolin's Feng army guarded Beijing, Tianjin and the vicinity of Fangshun Bridge, and joined forces with the Zhi, Lu and Sun Chuanfang troops on Jinpu Road, with a strength of about 400,000. The deployment situation is as follows: On Jinpu Road: Chu Yupu was stationed partly at the shortcut of Jinpu Road——Zhanggaotun area; the first line was from Zhuanhe Town to East and West Botou, commanded by Xu Yuanquan, commander of the Sixth Army of the Chu Department, and built strong fortifications.Sun Chuanfang's Li Baozhang and Zheng Junyan are stationed at Qingyun-Yanshan-Machang. For Hejian: Yuan Zhenqing, Dou Lianfang, Sun Dianying and other troops are in Dusheng Town-Jiaohe; the main forces of Yu Xuezhong and Sun Chuanfang are in the Renqiu-Hejian area. On the Gaoyang side: Feng Jun's 3rd and 4th Front Army, the main force of Ji Yiqiao, and most of the Second Cavalry Army have built a strong defensive position on the north bank of the Hutuo River in the south of Gaoyang. The first line is near Lixian County and Boye . On Pinghan Road: Jijin Chunjun defends the area from Gaobeidian to Yizhou. On Pingsui Road: Feng's Ninth Army of Gao Weiyue, Tang Yulin's Twelfth Army, and Zheng Zesheng's 31st Army began to retreat from Shuo County and Mayi to Chaigoubao and Datong after May 11. Withdrew to the northeast. On May 19, Jiang Zhongzheng arrived in Zhengzhou and had a meeting with Feng Yuxiang. Although the troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army advancing along the Ping, Han, Jin, and Pu roads had approached Cangzhou and Baoding, the distance between the two roads was about 200 kilometers; the Beiyang Army deployed heavy troops in Gaoyang and Hejian. The Beiyang Army has not yet been wiped out, and the revolutionary army has no troops stationed in the area east of Ping and Han Road and west of Raoyang. If the Beiyang Army takes advantage of the gap to attack, it is deeply worrying; Jiang Zhongzheng decided to wait for the advance army of the Fourth Army to reach Shijiazhuang On the line of Dingxian County and Dingxian County, all of Lu Zhonglin's North Route Army (including Han Fuju's department) will be moved to the area east of the Ping-Han Line to connect with Liu Zhenhua's troops, and then attack the whole front at the same time. The National Revolutionary Army began its general offensive on May 28, and until June 2, successively occupied the Baoding-Gaoyang-Suning-Hejian-Cangzhou line; the Beiyang Army retreated to Liulihe, Gu'an, Yongqing, In the area of ​​Shengfang and Machang, the revolutionary army pursued in separate directions. The first group army advanced from the areas on both sides of Tianjin and Pu Road; the second group army advanced from Renqiu, Wen'an, Xiongxian, and Baxian counties; the third group army advanced from Ping and Han Road go ahead.When Jiang Zhongzheng arrived at Liuwei (on Daoqing Road) on May 29, for the sake of military progress and avoiding diplomatic disputes, he discussed with Feng Yuxiang a proper solution. That is to say, enter the line of Jinghai-Shengfang-Yongqing-Gu'an-Changxindian, stop and wait for orders. On May 30, Jiang Zhongzheng went to Shijiazhuang to discuss with Yan Xishan about the aftermath of Beijing and Tianjin, and inspected the battle situation. On June 6, 17, the units of Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang retreated to the northeast of Tianjin. Zhang Zuolin had left Beijing on June 3. The law and order in Beijing was maintained by Beiyang veteran Wang Shizhen and others.

On June 7th, Fang Zhenwu, the 4th Corps of the Revolutionary Army, arrived in Duliu, and the headquarters of its 34th Army arrived in Machang. The headquarters was stationed in Cangzhou County.Sun Liangcheng received the news that the revolutionary army Han Fuju had occupied Nanyuan. Zhang Zongchang, Xu Yuanquan and Sun Dianying of Chu Yupu's department led about 30,000 remnants of the army, gathered at Tianjin Old Station, and each had a brigade, which was garrisoned by French and Japanese embassies. Surveillance, not allowed to get out of the car into the street, Tianjin city is very quiet.Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu have fled to Qinhuangdao; Zheng Dazhang's cavalry army has occupied Wujing and Sanhe; Liu Zhenhua's troops have reached Tongzhou. On June 12, Sun Liangcheng ordered the cavalry to guard Tianjin near Shengfang; the main force of the 21st Army was stationed in Ba County, and part of it was stationed in Xinzhen County; the 19th Division moved to Wen'an; the 2nd Division moved to Renqiu; The army is still stationed in Dacheng; the 18th Division is moved to Hejian to stand by. After the Second, Third, and Fourth Corps of the First Army of the Northern Expedition occupied Cangzhou, they pursued northward day by day until June 3, when the 26th Army of the Second Army marched along the railway from Cangzhou and Zhangguantun; The Thirty-seventh Army advanced along the area east of the railway; the Third Army (less than the Fortieth Army) advanced in the area on the right flank of the Second Army; the Fourth Army advanced along the area west of the canal on the left flank of the Second Army. The right wing occupies Daliubiao and Wangzhendian, relying on the front of Ziya River, and the left wing occupies Xiwei Village - the line from Machang to the railway.After Zhu Peide learned about the enemy's situation, he ordered all the legions to pursue and advance. After receiving the order, the legions immediately started to move. On June 5, they arrived at the front line, occupied the designated positions, and were about to attack. The Beiyang Army suddenly retreated automatically; That is to say, they retreated to Tianjin.The revolutionary army tracked and pursued along the areas on both sides of Tianjin and Pu, and stopped on standby in the area south of Jinghai. On the morning of June 5, the Second Cavalry Army of the Northern Expedition Army arrived at the southeast of Sunjiazhuang and assembled near Liumupio, southeast of Jinghai. .The Second Cavalry Army, except for sending a regiment to occupy Duliu Town, the rest crossed the canal and attacked Jinghai Station.At that time, the Beiyang Army in Machang retreated automatically, and the officers and soldiers had no fighting spirit. The revolutionary army then repelled the armored vehicles of the Beiyang Army defending the station, and occupied Jinghai at noon. Intended to pass through the Tianjin Concession. On the morning of June 6th, the Second Cavalry Army was still chasing and advancing towards Xiaozhan; the 21st Army was advancing from Taitou and Shengfang to Xin'an Town and Lilang City; the Fourth Army was in Huangkou Town; the 19th Division Standby at Sea of ​​Tranquility. After the Second Group Army of the Northern Expedition Army successively occupied Hejian, Suning, and Gaoyang, the Beiyang Army Yu Xuezhong, Sun Chuanfang, Dou Lianfang, Ji Yiqiao, Wan Fulin and other armies all rushed to Baxian, Baodi, Gu'an, Yongqing, and so on. The area around Shengfang retreated; the Northern Route Army followed and pursued. At noon on June 6, more than a thousand members of the Ma Zhanshan Department of the Fengjun Army were wiped out. After occupying Gu'an, Han Fuju marched towards Langfang to cut off the traffic on Jingjin Road, and then marched towards Beijing. The forward Li Hanzhang's brigade arrived at Nanyuan at 4 p.m. , Beijing people all went to Nanyuan to welcome them. After the Third Army of the Northern Expedition occupied Baoding, the commander-in-chief Shang Zhen decided to pursue and advance along the Beijing-Han line.After the Feng army retreated from Baoding, Cangzhou and other places, the main force gathered on the line of Liulihe-Gu'an-Tangguantun; the powerful troops of Sun Chuanfang and Yu Xuezhong were placed in Baxian; The Daliubiao-Machang-Huifeng Bridge line is still trying to preserve the territory of Beijing and Tianjin, making a final struggle.Sun Chuanfang in Ba County retreated suddenly, and Zhang Zuolin saw that he was alone and hopeless, so he had to implement a general retreat across the board. On June 2, the 17th year of the Republic of China, after Zhang Zuolin ordered the general retreat, he, along with Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, and Yang Yuzhu, the staff officer, brought important documents and returned by special car. On the morning of June 4, when the train arrived at the Dizhigoubangzi Iron Bridge in the Japanese Concession outside Shenyang, a landmine planted by the Japanese conspiracy exploded suddenly. Zhang Zuolin was seriously injured, Wu Junsheng was killed, and important documents were also destroyed. Zhang Zuolin was injured. He was too heavy and died at 10 a.m. on June 4. When Zhang Xueliang heard the bad news about his father in Beijing, he sent an urgent telegram to all the generals, restrained the soldiers, maintained law and order, and ordered to take care of diplomacy and not allow outsiders to interfere under the pretext. On the one hand, he urged all walks of life in Beijing to negotiate a peaceful transfer of Beijing. The brigade was maintained in Beijing until the revolutionary army entered the city to give an account, and then withdrew. The Zhi and Lu armies in Tianjin were terrified when they heard that Zhang Zuolin was killed in the bombing;At that time, there were many Beiyang troops retreating near Tianjin. Yu Xuezhong's troops were in Yangcun, Sun Kuiyuan's troops were in Hanjiashu, Yuan Zhenqing's troops were in Beicang, Xu Yuanquan's troops were in Luxing River, Wang Lian's troops were in Yangliuqing, and Xu Kun's troops were in Junliang City. The tens of thousands of remnants of Sun Chuanfang also retreated to the vicinity of Tianjin.Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zongchang, and Chu Yupu convened a meeting in Tianjin, and they failed to agree on the views of war. Pan Hongjun was the most fierce, and he still advocated for each other. He wanted to cause the second Jinan tragedy to repeat itself. He dug trenches and built fortifications in Tianjin and Hebei, and deployed troops. Zhang Zongchang also wrote to the consuls of various countries, saying that the army went on a hunger strike and asked for help. On June 4th, after the Feng army withdrew from Beijing one after another, the national government immediately appointed Yan Xishan as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing and Tianjin garrison, and urged him to take office as soon as possible to maintain law and order. Messenger is always on the way. At 9 a.m. on June 6, Bao Yulin's brigade withdrew, and Sun Chu's troops entered the city amidst the cheers of the people at 10 a.m., followed by Shang Zhen's troops. After Yan Xishan took office in Baoding on June 8, On the 11th, together with Bai Chongxi, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, entered Beijing to preside over the aftermath. Beijing, which was occupied by warlords, was completely in the hands of the revolutionary army at this time.The old name of Beijing was also renamed Beiping in accordance with the government's decree, and Zhili Province was renamed Hebei Province. Although Peiping was fortunate to call for a truce, Tianjin still had more concerns; Yan Xishan petitioned the government to appoint Zhang Yinwu as the commander of the Beiping garrison, Fu Zuoyi as the commander of the Tianjin garrison, and approached Xu Yuanquan, Zheng Junyan, Li Baozhang and other ministries.When Tianjin was peacefully regained from Beijing, it was still in the hands of Zhang Zongchang. The armies of Zhang, Sun Chuanfang, and Chu Yupu retreated steadily because the places north of Cangzhou were oppressed by the First and Second Group Armies of the Revolutionary Army, and concentrated their troops in Tianjin and eastern Tianjin. There are quite a few, and Zhang wants to use this as a final struggle, but he is at the end of his strength and can do nothing; while Qi Xieyuan and Wu Guangxin from the Anfu Department want to take the opportunity to buy these remnants with money, so they don't plan to move.Therefore, the situation in Tianjin is quite chaotic. Fortunately, some enlightened people in the defeated warlord army, such as Xu Yuanquan, all abandoned their secrets and turned to the Ming. Zhang Zongchang was extremely angry when he heard that all the troops had surrendered to the Revolutionary Army, and wanted to deal with it. Xin came forward to carry out activities, forcing Zhang Zongchang, Sun Chuanfang, Chu Yupu and others to leave Tianjin, and to incorporate various ministries into a temporary army. Sun Chuanfang fled outside the pass alone, while Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu led a part of the remnant army to retreat to the east of Tianjin. There are two important points in Jiang Zhongzheng's handling of the overall situation in the north: one is that Yan Xishan is responsible for Beiping and Tianjin, and the other is that Fengjun is allowed to leave the customs peacefully.Feng Yuxiang did not agree with these two points, and once put forward contrary opinions to Jiang Zhongzheng.On June 6, Feng's Han Fuju army was unrestrained and marched into Nanyuan without authorization, and forcibly disarmed Bao Yulin's brigade, which was the last to maintain peace in Beiping, which aroused the dissatisfaction of most members of the diplomatic corps. Chiang Kai-shek announced that he would implement the declaration he had made when he returned to office in January, and that he would retire upon completion of the Northern Expedition. On June 11, he submitted his resignation to the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, intending to resign.Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other senior generals all sent telegrams urging them to put the overall situation first, continue to lead the country, and urged them to go north as soon as possible. On June 14, 2017, the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang decided to push Chiang Kai-shek to Beiping to pay homage to Sun Yat-sen, and to inspect everything, so as to respectfully move Sun Yat-sen's remains to Nanjing for burial.Jiang Zhongzheng resolutely refused because of the inconvenience of the northern issue, so he rescinded his resignation.The Central Committee of the Kuomintang also pushed Yan Xishan and Li Zongren to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.On June 26, Jiang Zhongzheng, together with Wu Jingheng and others, detoured through Hekou from Nanjing and invited Li Zongren to go north with the car. When they passed Zhengzhou, Feng Yuxiang came to meet him from Xinxiang. Go to Peking. At 8 a.m. on July 6, 2017, Chiang Kai-shek held a memorial ceremony for the completion of the Northern Expedition in front of Sun Yat-sen's spirit at Biyun Temple in Xiangshan. Feng Yuxiang also rushed to attend, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Jiang Zuobin, He Chengjun, Zhu Peide, Bai Chongxi, Chen Tiaoyuan , Fang Dingying, Fang Zhenwu and Wei Yisan all participated in the ceremony.The Northern Expedition was Sun Yat-sen's last wish, but after the Northern Expedition was completed, Sun Yat-sen could not see it in person. Jiang Zhongzheng's memorial to Sun Yat-sen is as follows: "On July 6th, the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the National Revolutionary Army laid a memorial ceremony in Beiping, and its disciple Jiang Zhongzheng visited the Biyun Temple in Xishan to pay homage to the spirit of my Prime Minister Mr. Sun. He said: It has been three years since the death of my Prime Minister. It is more than a year old. In the past, Zhongzheng served as the Prime Minister personally accepted the appointment of Yin, and sent him an extraordinary mission to teach fists and fists. Therefore, it is expected that Zhongzheng will create the force of the revolution and remove the obstacles to the revolution, so as to get rid of the people early. Years have passed, and until today, the old capital has been conquered, the remains are exhibited, and the mourning hall is unaware of the mixed feelings. When Premier Fang arrived in Guangdong in mourning, it was the day when Chen Ni's garrison Xingning was eradicated. Reminiscing The prime minister's last words that "the spirit of the political platform is not the leader" is nothing more than a hint to my comrades' farewell. Zhongzheng served in the army, and he couldn't kiss the bait when he was sick, and he couldn't go to the funeral when he died. But my father and teacher can't get back. How can I do it? Since then, I have only continued to tell the story, encouraged myself, abided by all the teachings, and worked hard for the revolution. In three years, the foundation of the party was on the verge of extinction. Five times, the revolution Fifteen times, the power is almost defeated, and the military crisis is not yet there. Whenever adversity comes, Zhongzheng is the only one who adheres to the teachings, follows the advanced, and strives to make contributions. At the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee in 2009, Fang Ke overcame difficulties and regained unity. Recalling that in the past, comrades were in the midst of disagreement and dissociation, and the meeting with the doctrine was obscured. If the Prime Minister had not had a burning legacy, he would not have known How can we return to the common ground? Even if rebels come and go, and slander gathers for no reason, if it weren't for the prime minister's survival or failure, and the sermons of everyone using their strengths, they would hardly be able to overcome difficulties and struggle until today. In front of the mourning spirit, if you cherish the past, you will caress the wound and think about the pain. If you think about the future, you will face the ice and know the danger. Those who want to tell the Prime Minister are full of thoughts, and it is even more difficult to exhaust. If you don’t pursue the past, you don’t want to Trivial statements are blasphemous to listen to, and the coming day is in great trouble, so I dare to send a small wish, and pray for a lesson, and I would like to summarize it for my Prime Minister Chen Zhi. (Middle omission) Corporal Zhongzheng Haiyu, who has no knowledge, has heard the great righteousness, followed the revolution, and is bestowed by the teachings of my prime minister.Stealing the teachings of the Prime Minister, it is lofty and broad, and its essence has never been published by ancient sages, and Chinese and foreign great philosophers have never seen it. The merits are actually the foundation of life. Today, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the prime minister has passed away, and he no longer personally guides. The critical responsibility is placed on the comrades who will die later. The spirit of the prime minister, the spirit of uniting the party, unifying the thoughts of the whole country with the thoughts of the prime minister, the fundamentals of the people are established, and the liberation of the people can be expected. For the rest of his life in the war, he can still leave this tiny body to go to the Prime Minister's mourning hall and pay his respects.From now on, the days of my life will be the years of struggle. I will do my best to be loyal, and the success or failure will be blunt.The spirit is bright and the bandits are far away, but we can learn from the foolishness and sincerity silently. " After Chiang Kai-shek paid homage to Sun Yat-sen, he stayed in Beiping to deal with important officials. On July 11, he invited Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Lu Zhonglin, Shang Zhen, Wu Jingheng, Chen Shaokuan, Zhu Peide, Zhang Qun and others to Tangshan. Discuss and sort out military plans and military opinions, as a criterion for the unanimous compliance of all group armies. In fact, although the Northern Expedition has been completed, the mess is yet to be sorted out. Although Zhang Xueliang has a change of heart on the Northeast issue, the Japanese warlords are doing their best to destroy it; There are also internal personnel disputes.Therefore, what all parties are most looking forward to is to complete the great cause of the national revolution and achieve the desire to unify China. After the general retreat of the Feng Army, three lines of defense were deployed in the area east of Beiping, with the Luan River as the first line of defense. The Zhongyi part is in charge of defense; Changli and Funing are the second line of defense, and Fengjun Hu Yukun and Gao Shuangying are in charge of defense; Beidaihe and Yuguan are the third line of defense, with Zou Zuohua's artillery and Yu Xuezhong's 20th Army serve as defense.The main force of the Feng army is near Yuguan, forming a corner with the 9th, 12th, and 31st armies on the Rehe side. Under the leadership of Zhang Xueliang, the Fengjun decided to serve the central government and obey the Nationalist government. Although they failed to formally change their flag due to pressure from the Japanese side, they were determined not to fight the government forces and left the customs one after another.Only Sun Chuanfang is still occupying Qian'an. Zhang Zongchang's troops occupy positions along the Luan River. Gezhuang, Anlezhuang, Wanggezhuang, and Magezhuang, Laozhuangzi, and Hanzhuangzi south of Fengrun used village forts to form stronghold positions. The left wing was in the southwest of Tangshan, from Hancheng Town to Xugezhuang, He From the head to the area south of the railway, build a strong defensive position. The first line is in the Fengtai and Lutai areas. Jiang Zhongzheng ordered the crusade against the remnants of the Zhilu Army on the Luanhe side on July 15, 2017. He appointed Bai Chongxi as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and the commander-in-chief of the right army, under the jurisdiction of Xu Yongchang, Fan Jixi, Li Pinxian and other troops, and appointed Fang Zhenwu as the left army The commander-in-chief of the army, with jurisdiction over Xu Yuanquan and other troops, appointed Chen Tiaoyuan as the commander of the general reserve team, with jurisdiction over Liu Zhenhua, Feng Yuxi and other troops. On July 29, Bai Chongxi was unable to concentrate on the march due to the accumulation of pollution near Tianjin, so all the troops could not be concentrated according to the limit. He convened a meeting and decided to extend the date of concentration to August 5. Then he was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek: The two routes were on standby at the concentrated place, so that Zhang Xueliang would send personnel to contact Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu for reorganization. Because of the secret support of Japan, the Zhi and Lu troops sent Lin Quanzhu to Fengtian in the name of participating in Zhang Zuolin's funeral, and proposed to Zhang Xueliang. The second warning was to try their best to threaten and lure them, so the Zhilu army showed no repentance and sincerity, and sent more troops to Ninghe, Fengtai, and Lutai, which looked like they were attacking Tianjin. Prepare for the flag change. In order to completely wipe out the remnants of the Zhilu Army, Jiang decided to sweep forward along the Luan River along both sides of Ping and Yu Avenues as soon as the ministries arrived at the concentration area. By August 18, the 37th Army of the General Reserve and the Third Independent Army The division moved to Ninghe and Fengtai towns to concentrate, and was under the command of Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army. Liu Zhenhua's part also went to Baodi to fill in the defense; the second cavalry first army Zheng Dazhang's department was diverted to Wang Dazhuang in the northeast of Ninghe Advance to contact with Sun Changsheng Cavalry Division of the Third Army concentrated at Yahongqiao. Xu Kun, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Zhilu Remnant Army, commanded and refused to block the advance of the government troops in Ninghe, Fengtai, and Lutai.
