War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 297 The Beginning of Miyun! (Thanks to 'Sheath Knife Pig' for the reward!)

When the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army launched retaliatory offensives against Gubeikou, Luowenyu, Xifengkou and other places, Lengkou and the three entrances to North China, Jielingkou and Yiyuankou to the east, were also subjected to frantic attacks by the Japanese Army.

While the entire Eighth Division of the Japanese Army was waiting for the support of the Sixth Division, it ordered its 33rd Mixed Brigade to launch a fierce offensive against Jielingkou and Yiyuankou. Wan Fulin's 116th Division was defending these two vital points. The Japanese Army used the two regiments of the brigade to launch a pincer attack on Jielingkou and Jianganling. During the period, the fighting was the most fierce at Jielingkou and Jianganling. However, this time Wan Fulin's troops actually fought back. Despite the continuous air bombing during the day and artillery bombardment at night, they actually repelled the 33rd Mixed Brigade.

Immediately, the 33rd Mixed Brigade, in a rage, broke through the defenders' positions at Luohan Cave at night. Since then, Jie Lingkou was lost.

The problem was that Wan Fulin, who knew his shame and then showed his courage, issued a death order to the troops. At 116: a.m. the next day, after losing nearly a thousand lives, the th Division recaptured Jielingkou, and then the two sides fell into a stalemate. This was also Wan Fulin's most dazzling performance in the entire battle.

But Yiyuankou was not so lucky. After the 33rd Mixed Brigade failed to seize the pass at Jielingkou, they turned around and launched a surprise attack on Yiyuankou. The defenders of Yiyuankou were isolated and helpless, and after holding out for two days and two nights, Yiyuankou fell.

Subsequently, the 6th Division arrived and began to reinforce troops on various fronts.

Mutō Nobuyoshi ordered a full-scale attack on all the passes of the Great Wall. The stalemate was once again in turmoil. At the same time, Mutō Nobuyoshi ordered his troops to cross the Great Wall and march towards the Luandong area.

The 33rd Mixed Brigade, together with part of the 57th Division, first launched an attack on Luandong and was the first to capture Shimenzhai. He Zhuguo of the th Army retreated to Qinhuangdao.

At the same time, the Japanese 6th Division launched an offensive against the Lengkou defenders. Under the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, Lengkou fell!

The defending Jianchang Camp retreated to the west bank of the Luan River.

The Sixth Division began to expand in depth under tracking and pursuit, occupying the Lengkou to Qian'an area, and the 32nd Army in Shangzhen was surrounded by enemies.

As their line was breached, Wan Fulin's 116th Division could no longer hold on. Not only were they outnumbered but they also suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Jie Ling Kou was lost.

In the end, Shangzhen's 32nd Army, He Zhuguo's 57th Army and the 53rd Army could only retreat to the west bank of the Luan River and deploy defenses along the Luan River. The Sixth Division followed suit and successively captured Lulong, Funing and Changli counties. Since then, the eastern part of the Luan River south of the Great Wall has been completely lost.

The National Government began to seek international assistance at this moment, using repeated voices and diplomatic means to hope for intervention. The British and American navies made a gesture of landing in Qinhuangdao on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese. Under pressure, the Japanese army was ordered by the top leadership to stop the attack in Luandong. The Japanese army could not defend the entire 400-kilometer long front of the Great Wall with less than three divisions. In addition, their goal of annexing Rehe had been achieved, and they had to find an opportunity to breathe before withdrawing from Luandong.

At this moment, the main force of the National Government's central army was still in the south, and the entire Peking Military Branch had never produced even one hero like Xu Chaoyang. Such a huge National Government watched the four northeastern provinces and 22 counties in Chadong outside the Great Wall fall, and actually started secret negotiations with Japan in Songhu.

But the Japanese, who have taken advantage of the situation, can have a good talk with you if they can’t get more benefits? This is the main reason why the negotiations are progressing slowly.

In order to gain as much favorable conditions as possible, the Japanese prepared to launch a "short and large-scale" attack to intimidate the National Government when the negotiations stalled...

They actually wanted to seize the entire Jidong region.

At this critical moment, He Yingqin was maneuvering in the Pingjin area, trying to win over the hearts of the Yuan family and Xu Chaoyang...

While the life-and-death battle was going on in the front, Xu Chaoyang's brave regiment was left in the capital without moving. None of the weapons and equipment in the warehouses were distributed. Although the logistical supplies were still in place, Xu Chaoyang knew very well what they ate on the Great Wall.

At this time, their choice was to negotiate in Songhu!
Peace talks!!!

It's like a stranger broke into your house, kicked your father down, slapped your mother, and then spat a big sticky phlegm in your face. Your choice is to watch the kitchen knife go unused, put on a smile and say, "Let's make peace."

You have to make peace!

If you want to fight against foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the country!

You are carrying out a siege in the south!
Are you fucking human?
At this time, only Xiao Zhichu's 26th Army and Wang Yize's 67th Army were left in the Jidong area... "Report!"

Xu Chaoyang and Yang Jingyu were talking in the barracks when a messenger rushed in from outside the door: "Commander He ordered Commander Xu to go to the Beiping Military Branch immediately, and specifically pointed out that this is a combat meeting."

Xu Chaoyang quickly buttoned his shirt with one hand and picked up the cotton military uniform from the bed with the other hand and put it on. He put on the military cap only after everything was ready: "Let's put these aside for now." After that, he left the barracks.

But when we arrived at the military branch in Peking, the positions of all the markers on the map had changed!

"report!"

"Enter!"

In the office where the two army commanders and all the division commanders and staff officers were, He Yingqin stood under the map on the wall, frowning coldly. As soon as Xu Chaoyang entered the room, He Yingqin said to the staff officer beside him: "Inform the battle situation that has just been delivered to Commander Xu."

"Captain Xu." The staff officer didn't have time to care about the rank of the officials at this time. After all, among the people present, only Xu Chaoyang had defeated the Japanese. "The main force of the Japanese 16th Division, the th Brigade, has already broken through the Nantian Gate and led the army to Shixia Town. If they continue forward, they will reach Miyun, which is under the capital city!"

"The three divisions of the 17th Army suffered heavy losses in the process of resisting, and are unable to fight again. Fu Zhuoyi's 59th Army is on the way back to defend. Commander He ordered Commander Xiao to garrison Huairou in case of an emergency. Now we need a brave general to guard Miyun and never let the Japanese army advance another step."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Xu Chaoyang, except He Yingqin, who had his back facing him.

Xu Chaoyang saw this meaning...

"Commander He, do you want me to go?"

Xu Chaoyang asked a question, but He Yingqin suddenly turned around and said, "The brave warriors of our country should not be afraid of swords and weapons!"

This sentence was so direct that it made Xu Chaoyang feel sick. The 26th Army and the 67th Army are both important armies in the capital. You just put them around as vases, and order the 217th Regiment to be the country's warriors, right?
Is it!

The 59th Army is still on its way back to defend the city. So you are not planning to move any of the soldiers under your command?
Just take a look!
Xu Chaoyang looked at these big shots who usually floated in the sky, and a trace of contempt rose in his eyes. It turned out that the high platform under you was built by the soldiers with their lives. Even at this time, you are still reluctant to take the next step, for fear of being contaminated by the dust, right?

"I go."

When Xu Chaoyang said this in front of everyone, he already had a plan in his mind. He was not going to take the soldiers of the 217th Regiment to die, but to tell the entire national government what kind of people are worthy of being called "men" on the battlefield!
"But I have a request."

"speak."

"All wars in Miyun are decided by me alone, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

"It's natural."

"The arsenal is open, and our 217th Regiment must take whatever it can. The logistics and supplies must keep up."

"in addition……"
