At this time, Sun Liren's 2nd Mechanized Brigade was like a rock blocking Langfang, resisting the fierce attack of the main force of the 20th Division.
Although Bunzaburo Kawagishi exhausted all his methods, he still sent out the tiger general Fengwen Shimoyamashita, but the 20th Division Although its combat power is impressive, Sun Liren's 2nd Mechanized Brigade is no soft-footed shrimp, and it is not something that the 20th Division can gnaw away in Langfang in three or two days.
Considering that the main force of Zhao Tieshu's Second Army was about to arrive, Xiangyue Qingsi quickly made arrangements for the army.
He only needed to open a gap in one place between Ping and Tianjin.
Choosing the persimmon softly, Xiangyue Qingji quickly turned the breakthrough point to Peiping, using the fastest speed to defeat the severely ill-prepared 29th Army in Peiping, and then merged with the main force of the 20th Division to eat Sun Liren's troublesome force in one go.
Compared with the organization and preparation of the previous Songhu Anti-Japanese War and the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, this Ping-Tianjin battle can only be described as a mess.
Although the Northwest Army came out of the sky, the situation in Peiping did not change much at this time.
Xiangyue Qingji placed the focus of the attack on the main force of the 29th Army and the headquarters of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, and the Nanyuan Operation began.
During the battle with Sun Liren, as the main forces of the 20th Division arrived one after another, Xiangyue Qingji transferred the Suzuki Shigeyasu mixed brigade that was originally going to attack Langfang to the front line of Peiping, and worked with the Independent First Mixed Brigade to clear the enemies around Peiping.
Army work.
Suzuki Shigeyasu first detached part of his force to attack Tong County where the 29th Army was stationed.
There was only one battalion stationed in Tong County.
However, in the face of the superior Japanese army, battalion commander Fu Hongen still led the entire battalion of soldiers to fight to the death with the Japanese army for more than seven hours.
The entire battalion's soldiers were severely reduced, and in the end it was hopeless to defend the city. .
Fu Hongen led his troops to break out of the encirclement.
Tong County fell into the hands of the Japanese army. at the same time.
The first mixed brigade of Sajinghao penetrated directly into the line of Tuanhe River in the southern suburbs of Peiping and encountered the first regiment of the 132nd Division led by Zhao Dengyu.
The Japanese army came well prepared, but Zhao Dengyu was unprepared.
However, under such circumstances, Zhao Dengyu still led his troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army for nearly two hours.
In the end, they suffered heavy losses under the bombing of Japanese aircraft and artillery, and more than half of the entire regiment suffered casualties. .
Unable to stop the Japanese offensive, Zhao Dengyu had to lead his troops to withdraw to Tuanhe.
Just a few hours later.
A regiment of Sakai Hoji's 1st Mixed Brigade appeared near Nanyuan.
"Hmph."
After receiving the telegram from the northwest, Song Zheyuan snorted heavily.
Originally, Jiang Li's words were considered serious.
However, Feng Zhanhai naturally did not follow Jiang Li's angry words.
However, in this critical situation, Nanyuan's original military strength was seriously insufficient, and then withdrawing the student troops would not only give up Nanyuan to the Japanese army. , and only God knows how far Nanyuan's army can be withdrawn.
Although the combat power of those student armies is not strong, they can still be of some use at this time when the troops are stretched thin.
Now Song Zheyuan is not afraid of being evil.
As long as it can be pulled into the basket, it is vegetables.
However, the subsequent ordnance supply does depend on the Northeast Army to a considerable extent, if nothing else.
The five thousand new rifles and three million rounds of ammunition promised by Jiang Li alone can alleviate his urgent need.
At this time, the Japanese army had appeared nearby, and his headquarters had to evacuate Nanyuan.
Otherwise, the Japanese army might disperse the headquarters with a single charge, and there would be no way to command the troops later.
"At this time, our army has less than 8,000 troops in Nanyuan, including more than 1,500 student troops.
In addition, there are nearly a thousand civilian, field, and logistics personnel.
The actual combat army is only about 5,000 people.
Those with stronger combat effectiveness Only teaching The guide regiment and the two regiments of Sun Yutian's special agent brigade, but these three regiments are all understaffed.
In fact, there are only about 3,000 people who are relatively half-strength.
According to the current intelligence, the Japanese troops that have detoured to the southwest alone are With as many as one regiment, this battle is very dangerous.”
Chief of Staff Zhang Yueting said solemnly.
At this time, Zhang Zizhong's two regiments were mainly responsible for guarding against the Japanese troops who were rushing to Fengtai and Changxindian.
There is no way to take care of Nanyuan.
The purpose of placing these student troops behind Nanyuan was to prevent them from going to the battlefield.

However, who knew that the Japanese army took advantage of every opportunity and went straight back to Nanyuan, the southwest direction, which seemed to be the most unlikely place to attack.
The initial expectations were insufficient, so that except for a three-meter-high wall, this garrison stronghold had no decent defense facilities at all.
Tong Linge, who was experienced in military formations, temporarily ordered a trench to be dug, some mines laid, and a small amount of defenses added.
"It is too dangerous for the military to be located in Nanyuan at this time.
I must withdraw to Peking and send Zheng Dazhang's cavalry to inform Zhao Dengyu and transfer him to Nanyuan to command the war."
Song Zheyuan gave the order with difficulty, Northwest He valued those students, so why not?
Even if he evacuated to Peking at this time, it might not be safe.
"This is also a way, but Tong Linge is now the deputy commander and has rich experience.
Wouldn't it be bad if he is not allowed to command the battle and Zhao Dengyu is sent instead?"
Zhang Yueting said hesitantly.
"Deputy Commander Tong is indeed good at training troops, but he has always had no soldiers.
He has not been in battle in recent years, so he may not be able to command the proud and powerful generals below.
However, with his position as deputy commander, he obeys the orders below.
It is true that No, let's just let him take command together with Zhao Dengyu and Zheng Dazhang, who is about to withdraw."
Song Zheyuan thought about it and gave such a very unreliable order.
Zhang Yueting thought about it carefully, and although he felt that Song Zheyuan's order was inappropriate, he could not think of a better way in this bad situation.
Song Zheyuan was right.
Although Tong Linge was capable, he had not commanded combat operations for several years.
And it is indeed difficult to command other generals without the strength on hand.
Even if Zhao Dengyu understands the general situation, the generals under Zhao Dengyu may not be convinced.
We can't let Zhao Dengyu pass on every order.
Let Tong Linge command together with Zhao Dengyu and others, on the one hand, considering that his ability is indeed good, and on the other hand, it also takes care of his face as a deputy commander.
At this time, the Japanese army had just arrived near Nanyuan.
They were not very clear about the situation in Nanyuan, so they sent cavalry to reconnoiter nearby.
To the south of Nanyuan was a green gauze tent, covered with sorghum.
At a glance, it was green and green, and no trace could be seen. , the gauze rustles when the wind blows away.
The soldiers spontaneously cleared an open space to facilitate their own shooting when the Japanese army attacked.
However, the work was not thorough and only about 400 meters were cleared.
However, this was almost enough for the soldiers of the 29th Army who lacked heavy weapons and relied on rifles for their greatest firepower.
The Japanese soldiers were very courageous.
The scope of the cavalry reconnaissance was getting closer and closer.
Some even came closer to the wall less than 100 meters away.
The students who climbed the ladder to the top of the wall fired their guns randomly, although some bullets hit the sky. , but the bullets fired were so dense that even a blind cat might hit a dead mouse.
However, these student soldiers, who mostly just walked through the ranks, actually killed two or three soldiers.
A burst of cheers burst out from the mouths of the students.
They had practiced the formation for so long, but this was the first time a Japanese soldier had been killed.
It's a pity that the battlefield situation has deteriorated beyond the expectations of these student soldiers.
Song Zheyuan briefly told the student soldiers about the situation of the war and asked the student soldiers to withdraw to Peking together with his military headquarters.
However, the student soldiers were all indignant and refused to evacuate because of their enthusiasm.
At this time, there was not much time left for Song Zheyuan.
As a last resort, Song Zheyuan had to temporarily lead the military to evacuate
