After ten days of desperate fighting, the 100,000 Chinese defenders who fought alone were finally defeated and disintegrated.
Standing on the mound in the south of the city, looking at the burning city, Song Zheyuan, who broke out in a hurry, couldn't help but be filled with grief and anger, and two lines of tears rolled down his face.
At this time, General Song Zheyuan no longer had the majesty he once had when he was sitting in the old capital of Peking. Instead, he was full of fatigue and depression, and his face was black and blue. Days of hard fighting tortured him to the point of collapse, and the tragic sacrifices and successive defeats almost broke his spine.
What makes Song Zheyuan feel heartbroken the most right now is that the 29th Army that he worked so hard to manage is just like this!
¡ª¡ªJudging from his strength and position, the Baoding defensive battle he commanded was already quite interesting. He is just the commander of the 29th Army. A general who has worked hard on the front line of the anti-Japanese war for many years is now forced to shoulder the burden of the entire country's anti-Japanese war on his own, fighting with a mere 100,000 troops in an army. Japanese imperialism is coming
This is such a disparate battle! In the past ten days, he withstood the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria, the Japanese Northern China garrison in Tianjin, the Japanese garrison in Mongolia from Zhangjiakou, and the North Korean troops crossing the sea. army and Japanese reinforcements Counting those traitors and puppet troops, the Japanese have invested 300,000 troops on the North China battlefield, three times as many as Song Zheyuan's troops!
What's more, compared with the 29th Army, which almost only has rifles and grenades, the Japanese imperialist invaders have artillery like a forest and aircraft like a dark cloud. Countless steel chariots can turn the squadron's position into a sea of ??fire almost as soon as the battle begins.
But Song Zheyuan did not have any reinforcements, and all his troops had been held back on the Baoding battlefield. During the arduous defensive operations, his officers and soldiers were unable to rest and rotate at all. Everyone's ears were deaf, their hands and feet were weak, their whole bodies were blackened by gunpowder smoke, their faces and bodies were covered with blood scabs, the soldiers were haggard, and the officers seemed to be sleepwalking But the positions fell one after another, and the troops fell one after another. One army after another was defeated, making him feel more and more desperate.
The ferocious Japanese invaders in front of him certainly made Song Zheyuan very anxious, but the various knives coming from behind made him even more chilled. The Nanjing National Government removed his position and the designation of the 29th Army, and declared the 29th Army on the North China battlefield to be "Rebel". They even whimsically ordered Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Han Fuqu in Shandong to cooperate with the Japanese army in launching an "encirclement and suppression" campaign against him; the Wuhan National Government also denounced his anti-Japanese war and scolded him for "provoking friendly neighbors." As for other local warlords, they also paid lip service but did not live up to their words. They praised him for his "anti-Japanese heroic deeds" one after another. Song Zheyuan is simply said to be the reincarnation of King Yue. But when Song Zheyuan really asked them to send money to send troops, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb Only Yan Xishan from Shanxi was concerned about his death and teeth, and managed to send him some ammunition and mortars. Unfortunately, Quantity is really a drop in the bucket.
What¡¯s even more frightening is that the American and British imperialists also sided with the Japanese this time. When the Japanese invaded in a big way, those foreign banks forcibly withheld the donations raised for him from the people in the rear, almost cutting off the 29th Army's salary. At the same time, they imposed an arms sales ban on Song Zheyuan, so that his troops soon ran out of ammunition. Not in supply. The pro-Japanese traitors in Hebei were still making trouble everywhere, organizing national scum to attack his munitions warehouses and field hospitals This war lasted until the last few days. The soldiers of the 29th Army on the Baoding battlefield already had no food to eat, no water to drink, no sleep, and very little ammunition left. There were countless traitorous spies spreading defeatist rhetoric everywhere to undermine the already shaky military morale.
Therefore, amid such all-round internal and external attacks, the 29th Army was finally crushed - senior generals fled one after another with their money or defected to the enemy. The lower-level officers and soldiers simply dispersed. The survival of the nation and the righteousness of the country were completely forgotten by these poor cannon fodders. At this time, they just wanted to find a peaceful place to have a good meal and drink a bottle of good wine. , then stretched out their legs and fell asleep They no longer wanted to fight anymore.
As the saying goes, the building is about to collapse and there is no way to save it At present, the 100,000-strong army has collapsed. The whole province of Hebei is in ruins. There is no food, pay and ammunition, and there is no natural and favorable geographical location. It is no longer possible to hold on. Song Zheyuan led a brigade of remnants to defeat the general. , where should we go now?
¡ª¡ªHan Fuqu in Shandong cannot defect. Just as the Battle of Baoding is in full swing, Japanese troops from two divisions have poured into Shandong from Cangzhou. Together with the Japanese heavy group in Xuzhou and the Japanese fleet at sea Under siege from three sides, Shandong may not be able to hold on for long.
Yan Xishan of Shanxi is not a good person worth seeking refuge with. I remember that during the Central Plains War, he had turned against Feng Yuxiang and put Feng Yuxiang under house arrest. Although this familyRight now, the guy is shouting anti-Japanese slogans very loudly, but when the Japanese invaders come to the city, God knows whether he will fall out of favor faster than flipping a book, and immediately sell himself as a traitor, and at the same time, he will use his die-hard anti-Japanese faction as a pledge of surrender. go out.
"It's better to go to Henan and find Zhang Xueliang to accompany you!" He sighed and made the final decision, "This Marshal Zhang has already acted as a 'non-resistance general' in front of the Japanese and disgraced his old Zhang family. With my face, I shouldn¡¯t come here a second time now!¡±
"If Marshal Zhang is frightened by the Japanese invaders and really wants to become a 'non-resistance general' again, what should he do?" someone asked.
"If this is the case, then the whole of North China will be completely finished. And our country's future can only depend on the Red Army."
Song Zheyuan replied with a melancholy expression. At the same time, he turned around and looked up at the southeastern skyline, "I hope they won't disappoint"
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
At the same time, amidst sporadic gunshots and filled smoke, the last dilapidated Blue Sky and White Sun flag was pulled out from the top of Baoding City and thrown away. Then, with a burst of cheers of "Long live" and "Long live", several sun flags slowly rose on the city wall.
The proud commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, Sugiyama Gen, was standing in front of the ruins with lingering smoke, showing off his illustrious martial arts to a group of war reporters. Tsuji Masanobu, the staff officer of the Kwantung Army in the headquarters, was looking at a report submitted by a Chinese prisoner in a dumbfounded way:
"We left the team and surrendered to the Japanese army, hoping to give us a way to resettle. But it has been three days since we arrived here. Is there any way to deal with it? Thousands of poor people have been hungry for more than four days. There is no porridge or water, and we are about to starve to death. In this moment of life and death, I hope that Japan will save thousands of our lives I beg Japan to maintain our porridge and rice Fukengda The Japanese army provides food and drinks so that we can all obey with peace of mind, or pays them as appropriate and sends us back to our hometowns so that we can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Haha, they are indeed an inferior race with degenerated military ethics. They are cowards and scum who don't deserve to live in this world at all. Do they regard the Imperial Army of Japan as a charity?" Staff Officer Tsuji Masanobu snorted contemptuously and casually put the The dirty submission was torn into pieces.
"But what should we do with these prisoners of war?" Another staff officer interjected, "Could they be sent back to the mines in Manchuria to work as laborers?"
"Don't be so troublesome! There have been instructions in the country for a long time. These Chinese soldiers who dare to resist the Imperial Japanese Army should be treated with the most brutal killings according to the precedent of the Manchus and Mongols who went south to conquer the Central Plains in the past, so as to deter them. People's hearts, disintegrating the Chinese people's fighting spirit" Tsuji Masanobu replied, "So, let's kill them all! Let other Chinese warlords see, this is the fate of daring to resist the imperial army!"
So, a few hours later, these Chinese prisoners of war who submitted documents to the Japanese army asking for severance pay were obediently massacred

ps: In the past two days, I have been laughing at the Ukrainian government¡¯s combat plan to deal with the Russian invasion. It actually issued a mobilization order on K (Facebook), preparing to mobilize one million troops to fight, and asking the Ukrainian men to prepare their own food and wages. Raise your own weapons to defend the country! Is this a total war in the Internet age? Has it been upgraded from the keyboard Politburo to the keyboard General Staff? Mobilize 1 million IDs to chat?
From now on, Zuckerberg can brag everywhere that the Ukrainian interim government has used the military combat command system we developed! Well, next, do we need to appoint an ID as a company commander for every one hundred square kilometers, and then use the "shake" function of ** to search for nearby IPs? I vaguely remember that there was something like the "Weibo Uprising" before, and this is probably what happened. It would be good to mobilize millions of cannons.
In this case, the battlefield situation in Ukraine is that liberals are responsible for maintaining ideology and conducting academic criticism, and public intellectuals are responsible for condescendingly mocking the enemy, but no one is responsible for specific combat affairs, because even if they want to find a mercenary company , there is no money in the national treasury, and the big bosses only care about filling their pockets and never want to break up their families to save the country - this is the war between public intellectuals and democratic fighters!
From this point of view, it seems normal that the EU is unwilling to provide loans to the new government. With the current moral character of the people in Kiev, they will not be able to send troops even if they take the money! However, the level of military spending is first-class. I am afraid that the sponsors will be even more devastated than Chiang Kai-shek, the captain of the transportation brigade!
I don¡¯t know if this crisis in Ukraine can bring out the level of amusing in the modern Japanese chapter of ¡°Invincible Urban Management¡±.Or is it better than blue?
¡°Well, in the final analysis, they must be begging the United States and the European Union to send troops to save their lives and fight another Crimean War!
It seems that everyone seems to be living in the worse world in my Lao Lao Wang¡¯s book! It seems that this book could be changed into a realistic novel rather than a science fiction novel.
Finally, if a group of Cold War survivors can emerge from Chernobyl when the fierce battle is in full swing, it will be a real masterpiece!
