Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Beacon Fire Great Wall

On August 7, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek hosted the National Defense Conference of Generals in Nanjing. It was almost unimaginable in the past to gather all the princes of the country together to discuss the matter of fighting together. The martial arts sects on various hilltops, such as Shaolin Wudang, Emei Kunlun, have had some grievances and grievances with you in the past. It is not just a post, and they are willing to show respect and come to your appointment at the martial arts conference. But it's different now, when the country is in crisis, everyone is responsible, even the princes who once dominated one side can't ignore it.

Go, of course, but the abacus, big and small, still needs to be dialed. Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Han Fuju in Shandong have no problem. Even after Song Zheyuan arrived in Nanjing, he still cried bitterly, regretting that he made a wrong move, not only lost Pingjin, but also lost troops and generals. His miserable appearance made Yan and Han on the side very cold. Lips dead and teeth cold, if you don't push forward, it may be your turn. Yu Hanmou in Guangdong is not a big problem. He was supported by Chiang Kai-shek himself. It was not long after the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident ended, and his buttocks had not yet stabilized. He had neither the capital nor the courage to rebel, so he would only "go when the moon goes."

It is the princes in the southwest who still make Chiang Kai-shek uncertain. Li and Bai in Guangxi took Chiang Kai-shek's telegram of "going to the country together" and called all the generals of the new Guangxi line to discuss. Sichuan Liu Xiang and Yunnan Longyun also received this hero post almost at the same time.Knowing that Li and Bai also had a share, they quickly sent people to dissuade them, saying that you must not go. This old Jiang has always had ulterior motives. This time, is he trying to use the name of the War of Resistance to detain us old guys in Nanjing? what.

Makes sense.However, these people from the New Guangxi Clan are not staying in Guangxi and ignoring things outside the window. They are observing the current situation every day. Today is not the same as before, it is real anti-Japanese, not fake anti-Japanese. Guangxi, like the 29th Army that trained troops in Eastern Jin, also used the Japanese warlords as imaginary enemies. Otherwise, how would it mobilize the militia and build a "model province for civil defense construction"? If you don't go, wouldn't it be obvious that the anti-Japanese slogans you usually shout are deceiving yourself and others.

It is definitely going to go, the question is who to send. Before the Guangdong and Guangxi Incident, Chiang Kai-shek issued an invitation letter, but Bai Chongxi refused to go, and Li Zongren went.Everyone lined up, no matter what the turn, it was Bai Chongxi's turn. This is a good opportunity to rectify the name. Bai Chongxi said, this time my wife firmly supported me to go, the time is right for us to fight against Japan, and it is time for us to serve the country. Knowing that Bai Chongxi was determined to go to Beijing, Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and immediately sent a plane to Guilin to pick him up.

It happened to be raining heavily that day, and the weather was bad, so an amphibious landline came. It is estimated that this amphibious aircraft is still high-tech, and even the pilot is a German.After the plane took off, we arrived at Nanchang first. We wanted to go down to take a rest first, but unexpectedly, the rain became heavier and heavier, as if it was falling from the sky. The airport was too deep for water and land planes to stop. Helpless, continue to drive to Nanjing.When I arrived at Xiaguan Airport, I looked down and saw that it was no different from Nanchang. This is really urgent.Fortunately, there is a water airport next to it, so it finally stopped.

When Bai Chongxi arrived in Nanjing, the Japanese were alarmed. As early as during the Northern Expedition, Bai Chongxi was known as the "God of War" because he fought some beautiful battles. Even the day after he arrived in Ningxia, a Japanese newspaper reported it: the return of the God of War, the Sino-Japanese war is inevitable. When Bai Chongxi went to Nanjing for an appointment, he was not only safe and sound, but also won the first place in domestic reputation. As a result, other southwestern princes could no longer sit still. In the final analysis, under the general climate at that time, no matter which political faction in the country wanted to gain a foothold, it had to carry the flag of the War of Resistance, otherwise, you just waited to smash the brand.

On the day of the National Defense Conference, Liu Xiang rushed to Nanjing, and a few days later, Long Yun also hurried over. After the meeting started, when discussing the issue of peace and war, Yan Xishan was the first to speak and strongly advocated the war.The second spokesperson is Liu Xiang, he will be nothing but a blockbuster. Not only did he try his best to fight the main battle, but he also reported specific data. In the event of a war of resistance, Sichuan can send 300,000 troops, 5 million strong men, and supply tens of thousands of tons of food. In front of the big guys, Liu Xiang talked continuously for more than an hour, and everyone was stunned. Even Sun Ke, who was listening, secretly wrote a note, saying that he did not expect Sichuanese to be so good at talking.

As a result of the meeting, all speakers were unanimous in the main battle. Japan is murderous. Before that, why Sugiyama Moto still felt that he could not compete with Ishihara, why the so-called hardliners and moderate factions seemed to be evenly matched, not that everyone was really shocked by Mr. Ishihara's grand vision, but whether they could In the short term, it is still not 100% sure to take Pingjin and even North China. However, practice has proved that it took less than a month from the time Xiangyue set off on the edict to the fall of Pingjin, which made the hardliners' tails fly to the sky at once.

Now Sugiyama Moto is so happy that his teeth are almost broken, he no longer bothers to waste words with that young man named Ishihara. A soldier has to look like a soldier. Look at this guy, he doesn't look good all day long, he just likes to talk nonsense.How about it, is "China" as difficult to fight as you said? Didn't Pingjin be easily taken by us? The First World War in Pingjin greatly faded Shi Yuan's aura of "national hero" and "sole strategist", and the latter's prediction about "falling into the quagmire of China" was almost reduced to a joke in the military.

What does the Chinese army have? We haven't put in too much effort, the ground under his feet is shaking, and the water around him is flowing. In the end, he will have nothing. In Japan, from the Kwantung Army to the General Staff Headquarters, from ordinary soldiers to parliamentary politicians, from ordinary citizens to members of the royal family, they were all dazed by the "light of victory" and completely lost their minds. In the interim parliament, 33 proposals put forward by the military department were passed at once.Among these proposals, there are political, economic, and military ones. Anyway, one goal is to go to the war of aggression against China. As the head of state, Hirohito did his part, and he put on a hat for himself, calling him "Marshal of the Navy and Army", and established the command headquarters. This marks that Japan has entered a wartime system at this time, and the war machine is rumbling into action. After Pingjin, Xiangyue continued to attack the two provinces of Suicha, but before that, he first had to pass through Nankou. On August 11, the battle of Nankou started.The one who guards the south entrance is Tang Enbo. Tang Enbo, a native of Zhejiang, graduated from the 18th period of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. During the period of the Republic of China, "Military Studies in the East" was very popular, just like the current TOEFL IELTS test, who came back with a Lu Shi diploma, not to mention walking with his nostrils facing the sky, at least dressed brightly, like a "sea turtle". However, Tang Enbo couldn't tell what kind of "sea turtle" he was. Maybe it was polite to call him a turtle.This man is a big man with a dark face. When the weather is hot, one of his trousers is covered with heels and the other is rolled up to his knees. He looks like an old farmer.Only when he puts on the military uniform, others will know that he is a soldier, and he is a sloppy soldier. The color of the military cap, belt, and military uniform can be divided into several grades from gray to yellow, which means that some of them are just now. Washed, some have not been washed for a long time, belong to the type that strangers should not get close to. Brother is a rough man! Throwing Tang Enbo into the pile of soldiers, it is impossible to see that he is an official, and Tang Enbo does often throw himself into the pile of soldiers.When he is free, he doesn’t just sit in the big tent, but takes the initiative to go to the grassroots soldiers to brag. He especially likes to find the buglers, because the buglers know a lot about the things below and can brag. Everyone enjoys it and says what they have. After a long time, Lao Tang has the reputation of "sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers". Tang Enbo was originally stationed in Suiyuan. After receiving the order, he led his 13th Army to rush to Nankou, but was stopped by Liu Ruming in Zhangjiakou. Liu Ruming refused to let him take over Fangnankou: This is my territory, if you can't pass it, you can't pass it. This day was July 25, and the "Guang'anmen Incident" occurred in Beiping the next day. North China was like a powder keg that was about to explode, but the south entrance was so close that you couldn't enter it. Tang Enbo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wishing he could kneel and kowtow to Liu Ruming, but the toubob still refused to let go. Lao Tang was thinking about the enemy's situation and tactics along the way. He was not only preparing to defend Nankou, but also planned to enter North China to assist the 29th Army. But at this juncture, his own people blocked the way, and he couldn't get through anyway. On the battlefield, time cannot afford to be delayed. A few days later, both Pingjin and Tianjin fell. Tang Enbo beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling extremely distressed, but he couldn't tell his subordinates more about these inside stories. Those desperate Saburos almost had a personality like a fire, seeing that the brothers were all going to serve the country, and it wasn't like taking people's territory. Why don't you come here One set, it is possible to go to Liu Ruming immediately with an ax to settle the score, and then the matter will become a big mess. Only I was bored in my heart, the person who is usually so talkative is now dumb, even if people close to him asked, Lao Tang would not say anything, just with tears in his eyes, feeling sad. I couldn't fight, I couldn't pass, and I finally found a way, but it was not through formal channels, but the result of relying on favors, looking for connections, and going through the back door-Liu Ruming's old chief was Feng Yuxiang, who opened this back door. He agreed to let him go, and just like that, Lao Tang, as a general in the central army, had to be careful all the way, lest Liu Ruming suddenly change his mind again. The south entrance is an important pass of the Great Wall, and the Nanjing government has allocated special funds to Liu Ruming for the construction of national defense fortifications.But when Tang Enbo came to Nankou and took a look, he couldn't help but gasped. Not to mention the defense works, Liu Ruming didn't even build a shed! It was the 11th independent mixed brigade of the Kwantung Army who launched the attack on Nankou, and the brigade commander was Major General Suzuki Shigeyasu (the 24th phase of Luda). Before that, Suzuki had just defeated the 29th Army, and according to Lu Shi's rank, he was one rank higher than Tang Enbo. At this time, of course, the senior would not take his Chinese junior seriously. On the battlefield, the pros and cons of weapons and troop training are of course important, but the pros and cons of generals in tactical use cannot be ignored. When Jiang Baili, a famous military strategist, predicted the prospect of the Sino-Japanese war, from the perspective of pure military science, he raised one of the biggest worries, that is, there is a big gap between the quality of officers and the Japanese side. Japanese division commanders generally have to graduate from mainland China. In addition, they have to accumulate considerable qualifications, otherwise they will never be able to climb to such a high position. This is not simply a matter of seniority, but is actually a matter of selecting the best candidates with both top-notch military education and actual combat experience. In contrast, in China at that time, although Whampoa students had gradually stepped onto the stage, the level of the Whampoa curriculum was too low, and it was only designed for training company platoon leaders. They are now at the regiment level, and they have mainly experienced civil wars before, which led to a serious lack of experience in commanding high-level wars. Now it is inevitable for them to dispatch an army of one division or more, or even a group army or front army of 100,000 to 200,000. There will be difficulties. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek himself did not understand this point. He once told Jiang Weiguo that China's Whampoa officers must be downgraded by two ranks. For example, if you were a regiment commander, you can only regard him as a platoon leader, and if you are an army commander, you can only regard him as a regiment commander. Fortunately, apart from the Huangpu students who are growing up, we have other "students" available. In the Central Army of the Kuomintang, there has always been a saying that there are three lines of "Chen Hu Tang", which just represent the three schools of its generals.Chen Cheng was born in Baoding Military Academy, Hu Zongnan graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, and Tang Enbo was a representative of Japanese Lu Shi. The existence of the latter system is just a strong circumstantial evidence of "students beating teachers". Although Lao Tang looks sloppy and careless, he is quite different from ordinary "Japanese sea turtles", but he did learn something real when he studied in Dongying. The weapons and equipment of the 13th Army were not good. The mountain artillery mortars equipped could not fight against the Suzuki Brigade. Tang Enbo adopted the reverse slope tactics. If you bomb, I will hide behind the mountain. When you stop bombing, I will come out again. Back-slope is actually not a new tactic. Generally speaking, it is used in mountain warfare. However, many Chinese grassroots generals did not know it at that time, which led to many times being bombarded in vain. Just copying textbooks is not a big deal. If Lao Tang only knew this trick, he would not be able to stand out among the generals who graduated from Lu Shi. Being good at mobile warfare is one of his most notable characteristics in the use of troops. Mountain warfare and positional warfare originally had no chance for this, but as the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, if you want to "sport", you can always find opportunities. Not during the day, I call at night. Lao Tang drew mobile forces from various units to form death squads, large and small, drilling sorghum fields during the day and "moving" around at night. This unpredictable style of play troubled Suzuki quite a bit. He used to be an instructor at the mainland, but after reading the textbook for a long time, he couldn't figure out which chapter or article in the book the opponent's tactics came from. In fact, Tang Enbo's sports tactics are not completely divorced from what he learned in Japan. The Japanese's tactical thinking mainly comes from Germany, and they like to outflank and attack people unprepared, but Lao Tang just uses it more flexibly on this basis. After suppressing Suzuki's attack, he will turn to counterattack. Call Luo Fanggui urgently. Luo Fanggui is just a regiment commander, and logically there is also a brigade commander and division commander. As the commander of the army, Tang Enbo only needs to give an order. But using Maxima is different and must be treated specially. In the eyes of Lao Tang, Luo Fanggui was undoubtedly a great horse, and it was also the greatest guarantee of victory in this counterattack. Commander Luo, I have complete confidence in you and I fully believe in you! I have a word to give: a hundred years of life, one will die, and a hero who falls on the battlefield is the glorious home of a soldier. Luo Fanggui immediately took the lead to kill, and he was unstoppable. There were more than 2,000 people, and only 400 people were left. He himself was injured. Due to the interruption of communication, the rear once thought that this brave general had been "glorious" on the battlefield. Suzuki didn't expect the opponent's counterattack to be so sharp, and instinctively wanted to take a step back. But looking back, I was shocked. At some point, Tang Enbo had already moved to the back, cutting off his back! The senior was at a loss, and the junior laughed: mobile warfare still cannot break away from the old foundation of outflanking. You have no one in sight, you attack too quickly, and the front and back are seriously out of touch. Otherwise, how can I find an opportunity to cut your back? Suzuki was speechless. It was only then that I realized that Lao Tang was powerful, but it was too late. Suzuki himself, who wanted to attack the south entrance, was surrounded, and all food and ammunition had to be airdropped. I had to use all my strength to break out, but it was not easy to break through, because although the 13th Army had mediocre weapons, it was really capable of fighting. "Ta Kung Pao" sent field reporters to interview on the spot at that time, and they were also horrified by the extraordinary will and combat effectiveness of the 13th Army. They caught a detail, the company commander of a machine gun company commanded several machine guns to stop the Japanese army on the hill, cursing, meaning that the machine gunners fired too slowly. If you are so moaning, the devils are about to charge up. After a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and a machine gunner next to him was killed, so he took the machine gun and shot it himself. This time it was not too slow, but unexpectedly hit and hit, because of too much movement, accidentally slipped and fell down the mountain. The man fell, but the machine gun was held in his arms and refused to let go. A Japanese army officer was startled when he saw a person suddenly falling from the mountain, and he was about to step forward to see clearly while holding the command knife. Unexpectedly, the company commander was so fierce that he released the machine gun and killed the opponent with his bare hands. His command knife snatched it away. With the Japanese sword in my hand, I just hit it with my backhand. The devil officer was wearing a steel helmet, and he slashed on the helmet with the first slash, and then changed the angle with the second slash, killing him with one blow. After killing the devil, the company commander picked up the machine gun and climbed to the top of the hill to continue working. "Ta Kung Pao" was not an ordinary newspaper, it was the largest newspaper in the country at that time, and the reporters had seen the world, but this was the first time they had seen and heard of such a fierce and agile Chinese soldier. Afterwards, when they saw the frontline officers and soldiers of the 13th Army, they gave them thumbs up and even praised them for their good performance. Some reporters even took out silver dollars from their bodies and stuffed them into the soldiers' pockets to show their admiration. Within a few days, the casualties of the Suzuki Brigade could not be further increased, and the military vehicles transported back to Peiping from Nankou were busy day and night. The car was loaded with nothing else, but the dead and wounded of the Suzuki Brigade in the Battle of Nankou. The heavy casualties can be imagined. Since the "July 7th Incident", the Japanese army finally encountered the most powerful opponent in the north. Prior to this, the Suzuki Brigade had hardly fought any decent battles or vicious battles, and the bones of this mixed unit with the Kwantung Army label were a little light. But the Great Wall is not for you to travel, and there is a price to pay. Xiangyue was shocked to hear that Suzuki's brigade was besieged, and her first reaction was that Suzuki's command was too weak to be Tang Enbo's opponent. It's all Lu Shi's, you're still a year ahead of him, why can't you beat him? If you can't do it in the first year of high school, then choose another one in the second year of high school. Xiangyue's favorite this time is Seishiro Itagaki (the 28th issue of Luda) who has just been appointed as the head of the 5th Division. Itagaki's Lu Shi is the 16th term, just two terms higher than Tang Enbo.The 16th issue is very unusual in the history of Lushi. The so-called top Japanese generals such as Doihara and Okamura Ningji all graduated from this period, so it is also called "the 16th issue of glory". In terms of appearance, Itagaki belongs to the type with a big head and a thick neck, but he is neither a boss nor a fireman, but a madman on the battlefield. When he was 19 years old, he participated in the Russo-Japanese War in the Northeast. As soon as he heard the gunshot, he screamed and rushed forward desperately. As a result, a bullet from the old man unceremoniously passed through his calf. After being seriously injured, this buddy still refused to give up, and in the end he was dragged down by other people. Since then, Itagaki has established a bold and fierce image in the military. The Japanese have a saying: the wisdom of Ishihara, the courage of Itagaki. Itagaki has the guts, but when he was a spy in North China, he was defeated by Huang Yu, and he was defeated very embarrassingly. Perhaps the job of a spy requires not only courage, but also "wisdom". It's all right now, Itagaki has finally returned to his old job as the head of the division.Due to Itagaki's relationship, during his tenure as the head of the Hiroshima 5th Division, the division was also known as the Itagaki Division. The Itagaki Division was originally used to attack Baoding, but now that the situation in Nankou is not good, Xiangyue can't care so much. He hurriedly dispatched the Banyuan Division to Nankou for reinforcements, and stipulated that after the arrival of Banyuan, the Suzuki Brigade would also return. its command. Itagaki is not comparable to Suzuki, not to say that his military strategy must be much better than Suzuki, but that he "knows the enemy" better. As a "China hand", northern geography was once an important target of Itagaki's attention.Especially when he was the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he used the name of investigation to go deep into the Pingsui Railway to carefully inspect and study the geographical environment here, and thus drew a military map that could be used in actual combat. For battlefield commanders, maps are not so important. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, a man named Gu Zuyu from Wuxi wrote a wonderful book. At that time, many people did not know what the author was doing when they read it. I don’t know what I don’t understand, but books are rare goods to live in, and the price is frighteningly expensive. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, buying a hand-copied book cost 40 taels of silver.According to historical records, most of the local people in Wuxi made a living by transcribing the book. In fact, it is a military geography book, and every village, every stream, every mountain, and every store are recorded in detail.Gu Zuyu was a scholar at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and like the "Three Great Confucians of the Late Ming Dynasty", he also engaged in anti-Qing campaigns, and had to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to write books after failing.An important purpose of his writing this book is to serve as a guiding light for the later anti-Qing rebels. What is lamentable is that after hundreds of years, Gu's book was not used to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but it was read and used to fight the Taiping Army, and it was effective immediately. This book is called "Reading History and Fang Yu Minutes". The person who read this book and enjoyed a great name is Zuo Zongtang. It is said that the Japanese also attach great importance to this book, "March in wartime, do what you want." It can be seen that many years have passed, and the shape of mountains and rivers has not changed much. But after all, the times are changing. In the past, a magnifying glass was enough to fight wars, but now it is better to use a microscope. The map used by the Chinese army during the Battle of Nankou actually came from the Guangxu period of the former Qing Dynasty, a full 40 years ago! To make matters worse, the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty had not yet established the concept of surveying and mapping. The so-called map was similar to the "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" in an antique shop. Then I went back to the small room and used my memory to write down the mountains and rivers in a freehand style. This kind of map is not even as good as the "Minutes of Reading History and Fangyu". Holding this kind of map in battle is like a blind man riding a blind horse. If you want to go east, it can point you to the west; if you want to go west, it can point you to the east. That's it, not every officer has it, they must be regimental commander or above! Compared with the "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River Map", the map drawn by Itagaki is extremely accurate, even small villages and single-family houses are marked on it, and where there are blockhouses on the Great Wall is even more clearly drawn. After the drawing was drawn, it was printed and distributed to every officer in the division, even characters such as squadron leader and squad leader had a copy. Although Tang Enbo is proficient in tactics, he may not even surpass his friend Itagaki in terms of "confidant", so how can he not suffer from such a war. After a few rounds, Tang Enbo was unable to fight, so he had to shrink his troops and retreat to Juyongguan. Since the start of the battle at Nankou, Lao Tang, the commander of the first army, had never had a full night's sleep. He was as thin as a ghost, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his whole body was only skin and bones. "Strong soup" became "lean soup". He smoked non-stop, and he was always staring at two things, an old map with a pre-cleared version, and a phone. He will continue to grit his teeth and persevere. After the bloody battle in front of Juyongguan, several more hills were lost.If you want to stay there for even half a day, the only way is to hope to "return to the light" and regain those hills. The reason for talking about flashbacks is that a complete 13th Army is almost exhausted. Tang Enbo personally inspected the front line of Juyongguan, and after he went there, he was speechless to his soldiers who had been exhausted. After muttering for a long time, there was only one sentence: We must fight hard! Then I was so sad that I couldn't speak anymore. To fight, someone has to be there.Tang Enbo asked Wang Zhonglian, who was the commander of the former enemy, how many troops he could gather. Wang Zhonglian himself was buried in a cave in Juyongguan, and there was really no place to sit down, so he had to get a train carriage to temporarily settle down.As a division commander, he had been scalped by Japanese artillery shells because he had been in battle many times to supervise battles. If it wasn't for the steel helmet on his head, his life would have been almost lost. The 13th Army has been fighting so far that it has not even had a single regiment. The division commander in turn asked the army commander, can you send some more people over there? Tang Enbo sent out the reserve team before, so there is no one who can fight. Silently, he collected the soldiers around him and handed them over to Wang Zhonglian, including guards and orderlies. Wang Zhonglian finally assembled a regiment, including all the servants, cooks, and grooms. That night, Wang Zhonglian led these people to launch a counterattack and took back three more hills. At this time, Tang Enbo had only two orderlies by his side, and he became a standard polished army commander.After learning the news that the counterattack was successful, he could only laugh at himself wryly: "You can guard Juyongguan even if you don't want remnants of soldiers!" Finally, the reinforcements came, but the quality of these reinforcements was uneven, good and bad, high and low, and it was easy for the attacking opponent to find flaws. As soon as the flaw comes out, the gap opens. The person Tang Enbo needs to thank most at this time is Yan Xishan, who sent Chen Changjie, a general of the Jin army, to Juyongguan.Relying on Chen Changjie's timely attack, the hole was blocked. Before Tang Enbo set off on the expedition, Chiang Kai-shek gave him a time limit: at least ten days, at most half a month, waiting for heavy troops to help. This heavy soldier refers to Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi, but half a month later, they still haven't shown up. The 14th Army of Wei Lihuang was coming from North China. Because Pingjin had been occupied by the Japanese army, they could not take the train and could only cross mountains and ridges, which made it very difficult to march along the way. Old Fu was in Suiyuan, but he was also late, and the reason why he was late was because he needed to make time to clean up all kinds of hidden dangers around him. The first hidden danger is the business capital. At the beginning of the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War, after taking down the Bailing Temple, he originally wanted to take down Shangdu in one go.Because in Fu Zuoyi's eyes, the location of the Shang capital is very important, and it is the gateway to Suiyuan. Taking this place is equivalent to guarding the east gate of Suiyuan. After capturing Shangdu, he finally let go of one thought. The second hidden danger is Liu Ruming. Liu Ruming's nickname is "Idiot", and now this idiot is still distracted and has an unclear attitude. If Liu Ruming stayed out of the matter and accidentally let the Japanese army occupy Zhangjiakou and close the door, wouldn't we all be wiped out in Juyongguan? For this reason, Fu Zuoyi had to get Liu Ruming onto the chariot. Liu Ruming wasn't really an idiot, he pretended to be stupid and didn't even allow others to defend him. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to protect his procuratorial territory. Lao Fu personally went to Zhangjiakou to find Liu Ruming and told him an important piece of information he had just received: the Mengjiang Corps of the Kwantung Army (Tojo Corps) commanded by Hideki Tojo was advancing from Rehe to Zhangbei. Zhangbei is now guarded by Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army, and behind Zhangbei is Zhangjiakou. You have to be clear, the danger is right in front of you, if you want to avoid disaster, you have to act first, take the initiative to attack, and take Zhang Bei down. Liu Ruming's complexion changed a few times, Zhang Bei is not easy to fight, or I would have grabbed him long ago. Fu Zuoyi smiled, seeing that there were no merchants, I had already taken it down, the puppet Mongolian army was nothing serious, and the Japanese and puppet troops were difficult to deal with only together. Besides, Zhangbei is also a very good place, don't you want it? This is called "coercion and lure", there is no way, you can only use this kind of tactics to Liu Ruming. Liu Ruming finally nodded. Coming out of Zhangjiakou, Fu Zuoyi was still worried. A person who always thinks about protecting his territory must not have a strong will to fight. What if Liu Mou suddenly changes his mind or has a side issue, so another pawn must be placed behind Liu Ruming. Fu Zuoyi asked Li Fuying, a general of the Jin army, to lie on the side of the procuratorate, and instructed in person that if Liu Ruming was found to be slow in sending troops to Zhangbei, he would not hesitate to enter the procuratorate to force or fight on his behalf. In this world, there are many people who know how to fight, but some are just generals, and some can become handsome. General Fu is indeed handsome and talented. He has almost thought of every step, and every step is seamless and closely connected. After the rear was properly deployed, Fu Zuoyi rushed from Zhangjiakou to the front line of Juyongguan and announced his overall plan to Tang Enbo. The plan was that after Wei Lihuang arrived, Fu and Wei would join hands to raid the Japanese army from behind the south entrance and annihilate Banyuanhui on the front line of the Great Wall. Tang Enbo was greatly encouraged after hearing this. As a general, whether you can fight or not depends on your performance. Fu Zuoyi became famous because of the Suiyuan War of Resistance. He must be able to attack and defend well. His words will never be fooled. Not only are we defending Juyongguan, but we are also looking at achieving a major comeback, killing Itagaki, and seizing Nankou! When Lao Tang was excited, he even shouted the slogan "Hit to Peiping". However, at the critical moment, the person who failed appeared again. At the beginning, Xiao Zhenying made it very clear in the "tips" left behind that Liu Ruming should not only keep Chahar, but also reinforce North China when necessary. In fact, after the July 7th Incident, Song Zheyuan indeed set up his formation like this: Zhao Dengyu defended Beiping, Feng Zhian attacked Fengtai, Zhang Zizhong settled Tianjin, and Liu Ruming went out to Nankou. But Song Zheyuan didn't know that the "exit to the south exit" he expected was actually just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water. Not only did Liu Ruming refuse Tang Enbo's entry into Nankou, he himself sat and watched, without any actual action of sending troops to rescue Pingjin. What is this kid thinking? In fact, it is still selfish. In terms of his prestige in the old Northwest Army, Liu Ruming was also one of the "Five Tiger Generals", originally second only to Song Zheyuan, but after the Central Plains War, he had few major generals, so he had no choice but to rely on Song Zheyuan , Feng Song was the boss, which made him not only inferior to Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhian in the ranking of the "Juyi Hall" of the 29th Army, but also inferior to the "junior" Zhao Dengyu. Even if Liu Ruming stays for a long time, he won't lose his mind. It's fine when the brothers get together, but now they separate and guard Chahar alone. Speaking of it, Song Zheyuan at that time was really sad. The four generals, or the four brothers, Zhao Dengyu is not as good as before, Zhang Zizhong has evil intentions, and Liu Ruming is in such a state of confusion. Feng Zhi'an is the only one.In this way, is Pingjin safe and sound? Until the bloody battle in Nanyuan, when Peiping was at stake, Liu Ruming remained motionless, as if he had been immobilized, but his younger brother Liu Ruzhen performed much better. Leading a brigade of teachers, desperately broke out of the siege, and ran to Zhangjiakou to join his elder brother. The current Liu Ruzhen is like the shadow of Nai brother during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. It is a pity that time has passed and the generation of brave generals who once shocked Luo Wenyu at that time cannot be recognized. In order to protect himself, the idiot also played tricks. Without money to buy weapons, he came up with "smart tricks" and tried to take advantage of the Japanese. At that time, the weapons allocated by the Kwantung Army from Shenyang to Li Shouxin were not transported directly to Zhangbei, but were first dragged to Zhangjiakou by train, and then Li Shouxin went to pick them up. In this way, Liu Ruming himself can get a "commission" from it.For example, Li Shouxin could have received 12,000 guns, but he asked Liu Ruming to get rid of the odds and stopped 2,000 guns. Liu Ruming was very happy, I got so many good guns for nothing, I am so talented! But he didn't think about it seriously, would such a shrewd Japanese let you take advantage of it for nothing?What people really use is tricks, and that little bit of cheapness is just to make you suffer big losses and be fooled in the future. He wanted to "use tactics" against the Japanese, but in the end he was paralyzed. The anti-Japanese war was raging, and he even thought that he could "coexist peacefully" with the Japanese. At that time, North China was already like that, but Zhangjiakou was still singing and dancing, and there was no tense atmosphere during the war. There were people coming and going on the streets, and Japanese could be seen everywhere. Fu Zuoyi spoke earnestly, but once the others left, Liu Ruming still perfunctory. Asking him to attack Zhangbei, he just sent a security team to hang around Zhangbei, but he didn't fight, the reason was that he was waiting for Li Shouxin to "anyway". He was asked to completely cut off contact with the Japanese and cut off ties, but he let go of all the Japanese spies in the Zhangjiakou secret service, so that Hideki Tojo knew the situation in Zhangjiakou well. He also transferred the main force to Chanan, and his family and the provincial government also moved there. All of this is actually for two unimaginable words: neutrality. That's right, just when everyone was thinking about how to defend against the enemy, this kid was still showing off his cleverness, hoping that the Totiao Corps would only attack the Sui Army and the Central Army instead of him. "Princes' thinking" is really harmful. But didn't Fu Zuoyi put a chess piece next to him? The chess pieces are not working. Liu Ruming made excuses to procrastinate and prevent Li Fuying from being investigated, and the latter didn't even look at it, and slept beside him with his eyes closed. The system of the Jin Sui Army is very strange. In it, only the Sui Army can fight, and in the Jin Army, only Chen Changjie can be alone. Like Li Fuying, Wang Jingguo, etc., don’t look at the family. It is also a dignified Baoding Military Academy Graduate, but I don't know if it's because he has been used to being pampered in the gold and silver nest in Taiyuan, or because Yan Xishan controls him too tightly, anyway, he is not very good at fighting. The battlefield is just like the arena. In the end, the more expert you are, the more chances you have to level up; The higher the higher, the worse the worse the situation. Undoubtedly, Li Fuying is considered a bad general, but he is similar to Liu Ruming, who has been in peace for a long time. Just as Liu and Li dozed off, in just one day, the Dongtiao Corps came to Zhangbei, and the opportunity to attack was gone forever. If you want to be "neutral", the Japanese don't do it. Tojo's first target is Zhangjiakou. Liu Ruming was caught off guard, the line of defense was quickly breached, and he gave up Zhangjiakou and fled south. At this time, the hero of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War was like a frightened bird. He said that he saw 200 tanks of the Dongtiao Corps rumbling in on the front line of Zhangbei. 200 tanks, can that withstand it? In fact, what kind of tank is it? It's just a transport vehicle of the Japanese army. Liu Ruming was so panicked, and Li Fuying beside him was also a rookie of the same kind. After hastily doing a few moves to deal with errands, he quickly flapped his wings and ran away. 本来运筹帷幄，以为稳操胜券的傅作义闻听，不由得大惊失色。他急忙将绥军主力调回，欲进行反攻，但为时已晚，围歼板垣的计划彻底泡汤。 8月26日，汤恩伯下令，全线突围。 他的反应还是很迅速的，若再迟一步，想突也突不出去了。 张家口失守，不仅直接导致了南口战役的失败，还使刘汝明搬起石头砸了自个儿的脚，他的察南也很快被东条兵团攻破，至此察哈尔全境沦陷。
