Feng Quan was very angry and hated Kong Xiangxi's corruption. He was even more angry at Zhang Xueliang's debauchery and lamented his misfortune. The Anti-Japanese War in Rehe was about to break out. These people were so ignorant of the general situation. It didn't matter at ordinary times. Mr. Jiang was like this. Even if you have a high status and live frugally, who are you?

After suffering a loss, Feng Quanxue was smarter this time and donated money and materials as usual, except that the recipient of the donation became Zhu Qinglan of the Peiping Anti-Japanese Support Association. Zhu Wen of the Liangtai was very good at organizing, and in three days he transferred 50,000 German engineers from more than 500 trucks. shovel, 100,000 sets of fur coats, cotton shoes, and cotton clothes, and 1 million cash sent to Peking.

The engineer shovel is a good thing. It does not occupy the weapon system. It can be used to build city walls, ditches, and dig stoves. The entire artillery position is also very practical. It is an indispensable partner and helper for soldiers in combat and life. In fact, the German army used The shape of military shovels is not much different from that of World War I. It is lighter and stronger than ordinary civilian shovels, but the shape is not much different from civilian shovels.

After Feng Quan consulted Xiaomei, he was overjoyed. Damn it! One piece of ocean can buy 5 of them. Buy it. If nothing happens, the Chinese army will adopt a long-term defense posture this time. Wait for the Kwantung Army to defeat them one by one. It's freezing and snowy. Your foreign pickaxe may not be easy to use, so I gave it to you.

Strong, sharp and of moderate length, these characteristics make the German engineer shovel a very effective close combat weapon. The user can hold the handle of the shovel and use the strength of the arm and upper body to swing it for slashing. Its killing effect Similar to an ancient long-handled machete.

Especially in the most common combat situations of trench warfare, that is, in trenches and fortifications, a rifle equipped with a bayonet has a very limited range of movement due to the restriction of a narrow space, and it is difficult to compete with an engineer shovel that can be flexibly swung with one hand. In fact, it doesn't matter. Whether it is close combat or mid-range throwing and throwing, as long as you train hard, you will have good lethality and accuracy.

The war is getting closer and closer. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued statements one after another, repeating the old saying that Rehe Province is "part of Manchukuo", claiming that the Kwantung Army decided to cooperate with the "Manchuria Army" and "clear out" Rehe Province. In early February 1933, the Kwantung Army formulated a plan to invade and occupy Rehe and began to implement it.

The Japanese army gathered troops to attack Rehe and prepared to send troops to Rehe. Not to be outdone, Zhang Xueliang, who felt it was embarrassing to lose the three northeastern provinces, adjusted his deployment and deployed four armies in Jianping, Chaoyang, Beipiao, Kailu and Pingquan, Lingquan. Yuan, Chifeng and other places to stop the Japanese attack, determined to defend the enemy outside the Great Wall.

Zhang Xueliang also sent a telegram with Wan Fulin, Song Zheyuan and other generals, saying: "To this day, I can't bear it anymore. I can only defend myself with force and sacrifice my life in struggle in order to save the nation."

While Chairman Chiang mobilized the Central Army Huang Jie, Guan Linzheng and Liu Kan to lead three divisions to go north for reinforcements, he also sent Finance Minister Song Ziwen, Military and Political Minister He Yingqin, Foreign Minister Luo Wenqian and others to go north to Jehol in special cars to inspect the troops.

Song Ziwen delivered speeches in Peiping and Chengde successively, saying: "Rehe is a complete part of China, no different from the provinces of Suzhou and Guangdong. If Rehe is attacked, it will be the same as Nanjing. If the Japanese army comes to attack, the whole country will be affected." Japan has occupied our northeast, but any further attack will be resisted." "We will never give up the Northeast, we will never give up Rehe, and even if the enemy occupies our capital, no one will be willing to be an ally under the city. .”

On February 17, Zhang Xueliang, Song Ziwen, Yang Jie and others, together with their accompanying guards, took more than 30 cars and trucks and marched toward Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province. Zhang Xueliang was in Chengde, so he and Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin, Wan Fulin and others were named

In the name of the general responsible for guarding Rehe, he sent a message to Nanjing and the whole country, expressing his determination to resist the war and calling for unanimous support from the whole country.

Feng Quan sent a telegram to Jiang Gong. After obtaining permission, he temporarily handed over the base to the military chief instructor Zhang Lingfu for unified management. He and Captain Fu Andexin led 7 centurions of the North Xuanwu Group and 3 infantry centurions.

, 2 machine gun centurions, 1 pm1938 heavy mortar centurion, and an ammunition centurion drove toward Beipiao and Nanling in Rehe.

Helplessly, Zhang Zuolin, the veteran of the Northeast Army, and his brother Tang Yulin, the deputy commander of the Second Group Army along the Great Wall, still maintained their own self-respect at such a critical moment and repeatedly refused to allow other troops to enter the territory of Rehe.

Damn you, no wonder everyone said that this guy was arrogant and domineering in the Northeast Army, and gave him a nickname: Tang Erhu. It would be better if he could really fight. This guy and the Kwantung Army have almost become lovers.

, has always been disconnected.

Feng Quan did not dare to be careless during the Great Wall War. There were too few men and he could not send out all of them. He had so many weapons and he did not dare to give them away at will. If Jiang Gong knew about it, it would easily violate taboos. Just give it to Jiang Gong directly, the poor man

He's not greedy

It's filthy, but some of the party and government officials headed by Kong Xiangxi acted like rats. They embezzled arms, food, and wages, and looked ugly. Many of the heavy weapons they ordered were not issued to the troops. Ordinary small mortars were heavy weapons.

.

There are various signs that this war of resistance against the Great Wall will be very difficult. Although the number of Chinese troops is large, their arrangements are very unreasonable. It seems that the defense of the long snake formation is facing the risk of being broken through at one point and collapsing across the board.

Speaking of which, they fought brilliantly in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War in 1932, but a year later in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, they were faced with repeated defeats and heavy losses. In fact, the main reason for this, apart from the fact that the Japanese army underestimated the enemy in Shanghai, was

The front of Songhu battlefield is narrow

It is difficult for the Japanese army to give full play to its superior firepower and mechanized troops. The training, organization, and weapons and equipment of the Japanese army are all prepared for large-scale field battles with the Russian army in Siberia and Manchuria. They cannot attack towns and street battles.

Good at.

Offensive battles and street battles have always killed a thousand enemies and suffered 800 losses. It can be seen from the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II that the powerful armored assault regiments of the German army were difficult to exert their strength in field battles when encountering the tenacious resistance of the Soviet army in urban street battles.

Huge power. This was true in the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Leningrad.

Even today, when the United States has absolute air supremacy and firepower superiority over Iraq, it only suffered single-digit casualties when it used Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack Iraq. However, it still suffered heavy casualties in urban street fighting, and finally had to withdraw its troops.

The war finally started. On February 21, 1933, the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Eighth Division, which was responsible for the invasion towards Beipiao and Chaoyang, was under the command of the brigade commander Suzuki Mitsuichi. Its Hayakawa advance team was equipped with aircraft and armored vehicles.

With the cooperation, they took the lead in launching an attack on the Northeastern Army garrison and volunteers stationed at the South Ridge of Beipiao. With the support of fierce artillery fire, the Japanese infantry attacked in turns.

However, under the stubborn resistance of the Dong Futing Division of the 107th Brigade of the Rehe Guards of the Northeastern Army and the Geng Jizhou Division of the Volunteer Army, the defenders were not afraid of sacrifice and launched a hand-to-hand battle with the Kwantung Army, finally holding their position.

Feng Quan, who had been ambushing behind the Fourth Brigade of the Kwantung Army for a long time, asked Shuixiang and Shennan beside him, "Shen Shennan, has your reconnaissance detachment found the artillery position of the Fourth Brigade?"

Shen Shennan, who was holding the 12x telescope removed from the 88mm anti-aircraft gun in his hand, heard the boss's question and said firmly, "I found it a long time ago."
