blood feud

Infantry Battalion Commander Yan Wenzhong found that the enemy was attacking the Wangjiakou position, and Zhou Changnian's platoon was already in danger, so he quickly sent reinforcements to his guard platoon.

However, the reinforcements did not have the determination to stop the little devil's attack, but only increased the impact force.At one time, two squadrons were divided into four square formations to attack in turn, which is the infamous "pig sudden attack".

Zhou Changnian's platoon of 70 people suddenly increased casualties, and the number of people who could continue to fight naturally dropped sharply, and soon became less than a squad!

The guard platoon was filled with 48 people, but it only blocked two rounds of attacks from the little devil, and it became 12 people!

The test of blood and fire, the duel between spirit and fighting will, this is the cruelest moment.

Maybe God was frightened and cried, so the rain didn't stop.The Wangjiakou position can no longer be called a position, and the soldiers are lying in the mud and fighting back.

As the Little Devils Field Artillery Team crossed the Yongding River, Yan Wenzhong, the infantry battalion commander, knew that he could not stop him, so he sent an urgent telegram to the deputy commander Dai Guangye.

To put it bluntly, it is already a miracle that an infantry regiment that uses an infantry battalion to block the little devils can face each other for half an hour.

Fortunately, the artillery company had already withdrawn from the battle, and Dai Guangye, the deputy head of the regiment, immediately gave Yan Wenzhong an order to retreat.

This time fighting for friendly forces, not only lost 6 cannons, but also lost two air defense platoons, one infantry platoon and one guard platoon, and the number of direct sacrifices exceeded 200!

Yan Wenzhong, commander of the infantry battalion, did not use the new barracks from beginning to end.After all, everyone came from recruits. Facing the enemy's ace troops, going up to the recruit battalion is purely to increase the number of casualties, and it cannot turn the tide of the battle at all.

As a result, the 200-member recruit company became a logistics team, and the transfer of the remains of the martyrs and the surviving wounded became their job.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Yan Wenzhong would rather send a telegram saying "the situation is urgent" than make the recruits make unnecessary sacrifices.

Three heavy machine guns, only Maxim is complete.Now that we have to retreat urgently, we can't take it away, so we just blow it up and finish the job.

Guard like a rock, retreat like light smoke.When the little devil rushed to the position shouting, he found nothing except the light and heavy machine guns that had been blown up!

Even where those damned Chinese people who were fighting back desperately just now went, it is impossible to figure out now!

Bai Shujie ordered Zhang Erleng to join the battle, but the Nankou front line did not reverse the unfavorable situation in the end.Because Wei Lihuang's 14th Army was still unable to get rid of the entanglement of Kawagishi Fumisaburo's 20th Division, it was impossible to directly reinforce the front line of Changyu City.

It is not clear where the other reinforcements are. The defensive troops on the Great Wall are now getting more and more difficult.

1937年8月16日，又令新增援的第94师第56团与第21师第122团合编为1个支队（支队长吴绍周），在石峡附近沿长城线占领阵地。

But the little devil's footsteps are faster. The 6th division of the old devil Gushouo has completed the assembly in Tanggu, and it is just around the corner to enter the battlefield.

On the 17th, the 42st Brigade of the 1nd Wing of the Little Devils Infantry captured the 1390 Heights, the highest peak on the Great Wall defense line.Subsequently, the main force of the 5th Division of the Little Devils was launched successively between the 1390 Heights and the border town, attacking the defenders, and took the vicinity of the 1050 Heights as the main assault direction.

19日，汤恩伯下令将得胜口、居庸关、镇边城一线阵地区分为3个固守区。得胜口、居庸关、青龙桥一带为第1固守区，由第89师及新到达的第17军第21师第121、第124团防守。

东西大岭及黄楼院一带为第2固守区，由第21师一部及第4师第10旅防守；北石岭、东台、横岭城、镇边城一带为第3固守区，由第4师(欠第10旅)、第72师1个旅防守。

Tang Enbo repeatedly and strictly ordered officials at all levels: "If there are any officials above the battalion and regiment who are afraid of death, I will tell you honestly and bluntly, you should come to see me yourself!"

On the 20th, Hideki Tojo, the new chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, personally led 4 independent mixed brigades to Suiyuan, and immediately deployed troops on the Zhangbei line north of Zhangjiakou, directly threatening Zhangjiakou, the west gate of North China.

Fu led the 200th Brigade and the 211th Brigade back to Zhangjiakou, leaving the 72nd Division and the independent 7th Brigade under the command of Tang Enbo to fight in the Nankou area.

However, Hisao Tani, the old devil, couldn't wait, and immediately ordered the 36th Infantry Brigade of Major General Ushidoman, who rushed over, to strike across the right wing of Wei Lihuang's 14th Army, and the 83rd Division had to turn back to meet the enemy.

On the 22nd, without Bai Shujie's heavy artillery support behind him, a group of little devils broke into the garrison position along the north edge of Changyu City.The 72th Regiment of the 416nd Division reinforced the counterattack and regained the lost position.

Afterwards, the little devils attacked the position of the 72nd Division of Huilingzi head-on, and one part detoured towards the border town of the town, and the other part broke into the southern highland of Hengling City.

Fighting at this level is actually over.

On the afternoon of the 26th, Tang Enbo ordered the defenders to break through.The little devil immediately launched a pursuit, and the first part of the 5th Division occupied Huailai that day.

On the 27th, Suzuki Shigeyasu's independent mixed 11th Brigade took Yanqing.When the 10th Division of the Wei Lihuang Army arrived at the border town, the battle was over.That afternoon, Zhangjiakou was also occupied by the Kwantung Army led by Hideki Tojo.

This battle lasted 19 days, and the Chinese side invested more than 6 troops, and the little devils used about 7 troops before and after.

Because Bai Shujie was behind the scenes, the only difference from the history is that the squadron suffered more than [-] casualties, and the little devils suffered more than [-] casualties.

**The short commentary published by the central government publication "Liberation" should be the best evaluation of the Battle of Nankou: "Regardless of the actual loss of the Nankou position, this page of glorious war history will always fight against the Great Wall and Songhu. The two battles are full of three, and they will live in the hearts of every son and daughter of China for a long time."

Looking at the gains and losses of this battle, even if there is no problem with Chen Daqing's formation, the "Battle of Nankou" will inevitably fail when Hideki Tojo leads reinforcements to Suiyuan and Hisao Tani's 6th Division enters the battle.

The "line defense" of the passes of the Great Wall cannot be defended against the little devil's planes and heavy artillery.Therefore, Zhangjiakou must not be able to keep it. This is caused by the gap in strength between the enemy and us, and it is not a crime of war.

However, this kind of battle completely made the little devil's arrogance of "taking Pingjin in three days" a laughingstock, and could greatly weaken the morale of the little devil. The Pingsui line was opened as he wished, and the happiest person was naturally the old devil Xiangyue Qingji.The General Staff Headquarters of Pacific Shorty was also celebrating. After an order, the North China Front Army was formally established with the Chinese Garrison Army as the backbone.

After the formation of the North China Front Army, Ping and Tianjin were used as the starting point for the attack, and the Ping-Han Road was used as the direction of the attack.Along Jinpu Road, the Kwantung Army Chahar dispatched a corps along Pingsui Road, adopting the tactics of detours on both wings, and launched a strategic attack at the same time.

In order to break the wishful thinking of the little devil to drive straight along the Ping-Han line, Jiang personally took command and ordered all armies to gather in North China.The first North China counterattack finally kicked off as scheduled. It is a pity that Jiang's illness still cannot be cured at the critical moment of the national crisis.He spent all day trying to "reduce the vassal", which led to the implementation of this principle in all formations, which laid an irreparable hidden danger for the first decisive battle in North China.

Bai Shujie was very worried in the Chengde war room, but to no avail.It will never be possible to prevent Jiang from engaging in any "distinction of direct descendants". This is also the fundamental reason why Bai Shujie kept a respectful distance from the southern government at the beginning.

Because Bai Shujie was neither from Huangpu nor from Ningbo, he had nothing to do with Zhejiang.Therefore, Bai Shujie knew in his heart that if he joined Jiang's group, no matter how he struggled, he would end up with a "no-name" identity, and he would still die in the end.

Just like now, someone Jiang appointed Liu Zhi, the "No. [-] pig in the world", as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army and the governor of the North China War. Before Jiang's abacus was moved, all the participating troops knew it well.

The ancients have long said: To train an army, first select generals.

But someone Jiang did the opposite. His guiding ideology was: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, as long as you are loyal to me. If there are no soldiers left, you can continue to arrest them."

Ever since, Jiang's favorite general is the "best pig in the world" character like Liu Zhi.

Defeated before a battle refers to someone like Jiang, because he has never put the interests of the country and the nation first.

Throughout Jiang's life, he always thinks he is superior to others when it comes to playing tricks, but in fact, people with discerning eyes have already seen through him.He is still complacent all day long, and he doesn't know where his self-confidence comes from.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
