Liu Zhanxiong temporarily blocked the Japanese reinforcements from Xianghe to Tongzhou.
However, as large groups of Japanese troops from the 6th Division and the 10th Division arrived one after another, at this time, the 5th and 6th Divisions were already in Pingjin and Pingsui Road. , the 10th and 20th divisions were independently combined into the 1st and 11th brigades, and part or all of the Zhengsan garrison brigade on the riverside were put into combat.
The technical arms of the Japanese army that followed these Japanese troops were the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, which had 75 field guns and 36 field guns in the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, and the 2nd and 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiments, each with 150 howitzers and 24 Door.
The 2nd Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery has one more mountain artillery regiment with 24 75 guns than the 1st Brigade.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery. 4 howitzers each, 3rd and 5th mortar battalions and 12 squadrons of field anti-aircraft guns.
The 4th Independent Heavy Machine Gun Brigade, the 4th Independent Engineer Regiment, and the 6th Regiment. , the 2nd Railway Regiment.
There are three squadrons of independent tanks: 1st, 2nd, and independent light tanks, plus the previous Chiba Hirakawa Tank Regiment.
There are nearly 270 tanks in total, which is nearly one-third more than at the beginning of the war of aggression against China in history.
However, nearly one-third of them were lost in the fire battle with the Northwest Army, and they were restored to their original shape.
After the Japanese Kwantung Army received approval from the General Staff Headquarters to participate in the North China Campaign and attack Chasui.
Adjustments were also made quickly, with Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, as the commander.
As the 6th and 10th Divisions successively entered the battlefield in North China, Hoji Sakai's independent 1st Mixed Brigade was reorganized and returned to the original structure of the Kwantung Army with the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and the 15th Mixed Brigade was formed.
With jurisdiction over 4 squadrons of reconnaissance aircraft.
There are 3 squadrons each of fighters and bombers.
The 2nd Flying Group of 3 squadrons of heavy bombers.
Formed the Chahar Dispatch Corps, also known as the Mongolian Xinjiang Corps.
Compared with the once severe situation on the Ping-Tianjin front, the Ping-Sui Road was even more critical at this time.
Since the Northwest Air Force's reinforcements were not as strong as the Japanese army, although the Ping-Sui Road was important, the Second Group Army fighting in Ping-Tianjin was even more important.
In the tragic battle, In the war of attrition, the Northwest Army could barely cope with the violent bombings of Japanese aircraft in Pingjin.
As for Pingsui Road.
They only sent a squadron of fighter jets in a symbolic manner.
Although they also shot down several Japanese reconnaissance planes and bombers, it did not help the situation.
Due to the bombing of Japanese planes, the transportation capacity of Pingsui Road was greatly reduced, and some troops could only walk, which greatly delayed the time to arrive at the combat location, and the military strength of the frontal guards was naturally weakened.
The Japanese 2nd Mixed Brigade and the Lin Army fought repeatedly at Nankou Station and Longhutai Highlands.
The main force of the Japanese 2nd Mixed Brigade, with the support of aircraft, artillery, and tanks, stormed the Nankou defenders.
Another brigade, Bantian Detachment, attacked the Great Wall Line in the west area of Nankou Town.
And use one part to feign attack at the victory gate.
The 529th Regiment of the 89th Division's garrison at Nankou held on and fought fiercely with the superior Japanese army for six days.
The 5th Division assembled south of Changping and part of Tang Enbo's 4th Division also fought fiercely at Hengling on the Great Wall line.
After Tang Enbo contacted Yan Xishan, the 4th, 21st, 89th, 84th, and 94th divisions and Wu Shaozhou's detachment not only held on to their original positions, but also detached some of their forces to attack the Japanese troops facing them.
The purpose of containing the Japanese army and restoring their original positions was achieved.
However, due to Liu Ruming's ineffective combat of the 143rd Division, the Chasui Corps of the Japanese Kwantung Army captured Shenwei Terrace and Hannuo Fort on the Outer Great Wall in just one day, causing the situation in Zhangjiakou to take a turn for the worse.
After days of fierce fighting, Tang Enbo's defenders suffered heavy casualties and were forced to order a shortened front line.
Tang Enbo's 13th Army was in a critical situation.
In order to preserve this trusted force and avoid further deterioration of the war situation in the north, Chairman Chiang, who was far away in Nanjing, urgently Order Wei Lihuang's troops to quickly reinforce Tang Enbo.
After Xiangyue Qingsi discovered that Wei Lihuang was leading the 14th Group Army northward to reinforce Duokou, he immediately sent the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division to form the Niudao Detachment and enter the area west of Mentougou to block the attack.
During its northward march, the 83rd Division encountered the Ushidao detachment of the Japanese army at Qianjuntai.
It immediately went into battle and fought fiercely for two days.
Except for the 4 battalions of the 83rd Division that remained at Qianjuntai to continue fighting the Japanese army, the main force continued to advance northward.
However, when they entered Yanhe City, they were blocked by the flood of Yongding River, so they changed the route to Qingbaishi and headed to the west side of Dacun.
And defeated the first part of the Ushijima detachment, but the advancing speed of the 14th Group Army could not keep up with the Japanese attack speed.
Tang Enbo was surrounded by the Japanese army.
Fortunately, Wei Lihuang's reinforcements contained a large number of Japanese troops, allowing Tang Enbo to escape from the Japanese army's encirclement.
Although Fu Zuoyi led his troops to the rescue of Nankou and inflicted considerable damage on the Japanese army, he was unable to regain the lost position.
Liu Ruming, who was unable to fight effectively, retreated to Xiangtian Town and Yu County.

There were not many unexpected losses in Zhangjiakou.
The Pingsui Railway east of Zhangjiakou and the area to the north were completely controlled by the Japanese army.
The main forces that "killed" the 37th and 38th Divisions finally came together.
After three days of hard fighting, they finally stepped on the last position of the Mutian United Army.
The shouts of thousands of soldiers gathered together.
It was by no means smooth sailing for the Japanese army on the battlefield.
As the assault reinforcements were unable to break through the obstruction of Liu Zhanxiong's 3rd Army, and the Mutian Regiment lacked sufficient support, under the covering artillery fire, very few Japanese soldiers who died in the battle could be found.
An intact body.
Thousands of soldiers of the 29th Army who were eager for revenge were strangled together with less than a thousand Japanese soldiers who had suffered for several days.
The Japanese army's bayonet fighting was elite, but they were exhausted after a long battle.
Although they were still tenacious, their resistance at this time was already so weak.
The main force of the 37th and 38th Divisions besieged the Mutian Regiment for several days, and their faces were burning.
After hearing that the main force had been strangled with the Japanese army, both Feng Zhi'an, Zhang Zizhong, and Song Zheyuan who was stationed in Peking couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the main force of an army The lone Japanese army was surrounded by less than one regiment.
In normal times, the 29th Army may not be able to absorb the strength of a Japanese regiment in a short period of time.
However, this time the Northwest Army also dispatched several groups of aviation units to engage in air combat with Japanese aircraft.
There are also some mortars and light and heavy machine guns.
They even bombed the Mutian Alliance position a few times.
Even so, the 29th Army also paid more than twice the price of the Japanese Army to achieve a staged victory.
"Zhangjiakou and the eastern section of Pingsui Road are in the hands of the empire.
Now Chahar Province in China has been isolated by the imperial army.
The gates of Suiyuan and Shanxi have also been opened to the empire."
Staff officer Gengo Yamai said excitedly .
"The success of the Pingsui Road Operation cannot conceal the difficulties encountered by the North China Front at this time.
Maybe the Navy Ministry is waiting to see our jokes."
Suzuki said with a cold smile and just came from the telegraph room.
The telegram he took was thrown on the table in front of him, "You must already know the telegram I just received.
The Muta United Team has lost contact at this time.
I believe everyone here knows what this means."
"What, the Mutian Alliance has been crushed.
When did the 29th Army have such attack power?"
There was a lot of discussion in the spacious conference room
.
