In order to prevent the Northwestern Army from going north, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army in the Pingsui Road area from attacking the Japanese army in Pingjin.
The Japanese army preemptively took advantage of the air firepower and took advantage of the lack of timely reinforcements from the Jinsui Army and Tang Enbo and Wei Lihuang's Central Army.
They took the lead in sending the powerful 5th Division to attack Zhangjiakou, the important southern entrance.
"Although the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army are not in the same pot as us for the time being, at Zhangjiakou and South Gate, not only Suiyuan is directly exposed to the front of the Japanese army, Chahar is isolated by the Japanese army in the north.
At the same time, the Japanese army is also at any time Can send troops to attack the northern Shanxi region .
So there is no need to worry that the Jinsui Army and the Central Army will not be alive at this time.
Although the Japanese army dispatched troops to North China and our Northwest Army took on most of the attack, now there is a group of Jinsui Army to help share some firepower.
In this battle, we It can also be a little more relaxed.”
"With the spread of the Japanese army's strength, the Japanese army's intention in the north is now obvious.
They will capture Zhangjiakou and Nankou all the way, and attack Juanchasui.
Prepare for the attack on Shanxi.
Fight all the way through Pingjin to capture Pingjin, then Yanjinpu, Pinghan Road Go south and conquer the entire North China region.
The terrain of Pingjin and Tianjin is flat, and the only thing you rely on is that the Japanese army does not want to conquer Peiping.
We also do not want Peiping to be destroyed by the war.
However, there is no danger to defend the Ping-Tianjin area, and the previous war preparations were seriously insufficient and we failed to build strong fortifications.
It is to use the army to fight the Japanese army, which is beyond the reach of our military.
This time the Japanese army goes to war with the intention of launching a war to destroy the country. , even if the ultimate goal of destroying the country is not achieved, our North China and East China areas will also fall into the hands of the Japanese army.
The passage to the east and the foreign powers will be blocked by the Japanese army, and we can only be trapped in the northwest, and the southwest area will protect ourselves.
It is extremely disadvantageous.
In my opinion, we should use Pingjin to hold off the Japanese troops for a period of time, and then build up positions in Baoding, Shijiazhuang and other places.
Building defensive lines, these areas can be defended, but the troops cannot be withdrawn in time, which is intended to consume the effective strength of the Japanese army.
At the same time, it will delay the defense of various places on the Yellow River and the Central Army of Yan Xishan.
Try to keep the Japanese army north of the Yellow River to prevent North China from directly joining forces with the Japanese army attacking Shanghai."
Zhao Tieshu did not directly assign some of the troops and horses that were withdrawn from Nanyuan to the group army.
After all, they were soldiers of the 29th Army.
It would be too ugly to dig up Tong Linge and swallow these soldiers.
If so, what will happen later?
It's not just the 29th Army, I'm afraid it's in northern Henan.
Shang Zhen and Pang Bingxun of southern Hebei Province.
Sun Dianying and other troops no longer want to fight with their heart.
Historically, these miscellaneous generals also fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.
However, the result of the fight with the Japanese army was naturally heavy losses.
Whether it was ordnance or troops, they were almost beaten to nothing but shells.
However, Nanjing never received reinforcements, so that during the subsequent Japanese offensive, many troops collapsed as soon as they were touched and ran away after firing a few shots.
Of course, many of the generals of these miscellaneous armies were self-respecting and disobedient to the central government's dispatches.
During critical periods, military affairs were often delayed due to procrastination.
Nanjing's supply of ordnance and soldiers was also very tight.
Chairman Chiang naturally hopes to consume these miscellaneous forces through war and maintain the strength of his Central Army as much as possible.
There is no telling who is right or wrong in this.
When Tong Linge first joined the Northwest Army, he was not much different from the 29th Army when he joined Song Zheyuan alone.
He originally thought that it would be good to be awarded the actual service after a while.
However, after staying at the group army headquarters for a few days, Tong Linge, a veteran in the military, realized that the Northwest Army's staff system was completely different from that of other local warlords.
Naturally, Tong Lin did not know that the Northwest's cooperation with Germany also included For military cooperation, a considerable number of German soldiers were hired.
As a time traveler, Jiang Li also attached great importance to the work of the staff system.
In the Northwest Army at this time, the status of the staff officer was also extremely high.

After experiencing the experience in the 29th Army, Tong Linge naturally cherishes the opportunities in front of him.
Being busy with something is better than doing nothing before.
From handling the military affairs of the Northwest Army in the past few days, Tong Linge also had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Northwest Army.
In this pre-war meeting, Tong Linge also showed his best ability.
"It's a bit humiliating to train troops in the rear with Brother Tong's ability."
After hearing Tong Linge's analysis, Chief of Staff Sun Mingwu was slightly surprised.
In fact, the Northwest Army has been training with the Japanese army as the imaginary enemy in recent years.
For the Japanese army Possible future offensive routes and strategies have been deduced countless times.
Although the plan mentioned by Tong Linge is somewhat different from the strategic thinking of the Northwest Army at this time, it is generally very similar.
"Now that the idea has been clarified, the further back we go, the more Japanese troops will gather in Pingjin.
There is still a large amount of materials and personnel that have not been evacuated from Pingjin.
We must re-open the connection with Peiping.
Sun Liren's mechanized brigade has withdrawn. , The group army has no trump card at present.
In order to cope with the Japanese artillery superiority, I have to call the General Staff and request that the artillery brigade of Yang Hucheng’s 3rd Group Army be transferred to the 2nd Group Army.”
"Is there something wrong with this?"
Tong Linge's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
Yang Hucheng was also a giant in Shaanxi.
The army group he led had arrived in Henan.
The artillery brigade was extremely precious to any army.
You must know that Song Zheyuan's entire 29 The total number of artillery that the army can handle is only twenty or thirty.
One sentence would take away a major force of Yang Hucheng's 3rd Army, and it would be difficult for anyone to agree to it.
"Well, let's send a telegram to the General Staff.
In addition, Sun Liren will withdraw south.
The transport trucks of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade will be left behind and requisitioned.
We will also report to the General Staff."
With Tong Linge's even more surprised face, Zhao Tieshu finally made the final decision.
"The artillery brigade transferred from Yang Hucheng's 3rd Group Army, the General Staff will naturally find a way to add another capable force to Yang Hucheng.
It is just an emergency measure at the moment.
The Northwest Army is different from the local army.
If the position is changed, if Yang Hucheng The same goes for beating my troops."
Finally, Sun Mingwu explained to Tong Linge.
"In the future, if you stay in the Northwest Army for a long time, you will know the relationships inside."
"The Japanese army is powerful, and the factions in the north are still fighting independently.
Even the central government has difficulty in coordinating the war of resistance.
This move in the northwest has eliminated these problems.
Only by gathering the strength of all parties can they play their greatest role in the war of resistance.
Only in this way can the Republic of China have a A glimmer of hope."
After a long time, Tong Linge said with emotion.
In fact, the great integration of the northwest is far from what Tong Linge said, but the northwest is indeed working in this direction
