It only took three days to lose Rehe, but what about losing Peking???
The young Marshal Zhang was panicking, but Marshal Wu was an old hand, experienced and knowledgeable. He was more stable and stood up and scolded him:
"What happened? How did they get lost? How many enemies are there? With less than 10,000, there's no way they can break through Shanhaiguan!"
Pan Wenyu, who was participating in the discussion nearby, also said decisively:
"That's right! It's impossible for the army to be heading south! At least it's definitely not heading for Peking!"
If the person in the north really wanted to take over Peking, how could he not notify "traitors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs" like Li Tiancai and Wu Chengfang to cooperate?
They hadn't received the news yet. Why did the army march south to attack Shanhaiguan?
"Yes, yes, yes! What's going on?"
Zhang Xueliang also reacted.
He knew that a battalion of the "129th Division" was stationed near Shanhaiguan, but with just one battalion, even if everyone took the Hercules Pill, it would be impossible for them to capture the world's most heavily guarded pass!
Therefore, if the intelligence is true, there must be reinforcements!
However, as Wu Peifu and Pan Wenyu said, if the reinforcements were less than 10,000, it would be impossible to capture Shanhaiguan. If they were more than 10,000, how could Peking not have received any intelligence at all?
Do you think it is so easy to gather troops and military supplies?
Moreover, after the Battle of Rehe, the areas near the Great Wall defense line, such as Gubeikou, were forcibly "demilitarized" by the Northeast. So no matter how you think about it, it would be easier to attack from there. Why would they choose Shanhaiguan?
Even if they chose Shanhaiguan, how could this most important pass in the world be lost so quickly and "silently"?
Can it last a few days at least?!
"Yes... yes... Commander, it's like this..."
After the attendant stuttered out what he had already known, Zhang, Wu, Pan and the others were completely speechless.
No wonder there is no need to mobilize other troops. It turns out that it was our own people who "surrendered"
drop"!
No, it cannot be said as "surrender" because Shanhaiguan was still in the hands of the Northeast Army and the defenders did not rebel. They just let the "Northeast Army" pass through Shanhaiguan.
But then again, opening the city gates without permission and letting the enemy in, even if it's just to let them pass through, is actually no different in essence from surrender.
If I had to describe it, it would be that "the army had no will to fight" and was completely unwilling to resist the invading enemy - at least not willing to resist the north.
After quickly finding an excuse to send Wu Peihu away, who still wanted to get involved, the embarrassed Marshal Zhang was already too angry and anxious to speak. Only Pan Wenyu calmly inquired about the situation:
"Where are they? What is the composition of the army? How many cavalrymen are there?
How many infantrymen are there? Are there any armored vehicles? Are there any other heavy weapons?
"According to their speed, they should be near Luanzhou and Changli by now. Commander He reported that they had no heavy weapons, just the two thousand men, some cavalry, some vehicles, and some..."
When these data were reported, even Zhang Xueliang noticed something was wrong:
Light troops?
Are there really only 2000 people?
Is it true that there is a person beside the gate who didn't even bring a cannon?
So what were they planning to do by going deep into enemy territory?
They acted so brazenly, without concealing their whereabouts at all. Were they really not afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by the Northeast Army?
Were they really planning to "peacefully take over Peking"?
No way, no way?
With only two thousand light soldiers, did they really think they could capture the huge city of Beiping?
Without at least 200,000 people, how can you control Peking and even North China?
Stop it, okay!
Hahaha... How can...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhang Xueliang immediately thought of the lost Chengde and Shanhaiguan. He shuddered and looked at the staff he now relied on very much:
"Dong Zhou, what do you think?
How do I see?
Just watch with your eyes wide open!
During these "confrontations", Pan Wenyu finally felt the pain of becoming Fujiwara no Kanezane's enemy, which Chairman Chiang had already felt many times.
Because you can never guess what this guy is thinking or what he is going to do next!
You said he wanted to take Peking, but he only sent 2000 men, and they didn't have any heavy weapons;
You say he didn't want to take over Peking, but he sent his troops there at the risk of going deep into the enemy's territory alone, and he even successfully "took over" Shanhaiguan.
What on earth does he want to do?
Unable to figure it out, Pan Wenyu had to give the most conservative answer:
"Commander, the only solution now is to send someone to inquire about the situation.
Of course, I can only "ask", otherwise why would I start a fight?
Soon, He Zhuguo, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Northeast Army and commander of the Linyong Security Command, who received the order, reluctantly rushed from Tianjin to the vicinity of Tangshan with hundreds of people, stopped Wu Kehua's troops, and politely asked about their purpose.
Is it difficult?
Hard clam.
Frustrated?
suffocated.
But what can he do?
If they were facing an ordinary enemy, such as the Central Army in the South, as long as they were paid enough, the Northeast Army would be willing to fight.
But faced with this group of "fellow countrymen" who looked the same as themselves, wrote the same characters, spoke the same language, and even had the same accent, no one, including Ho Chiu-kuo himself, wanted to fight them, and it was obvious that they could not beat them.
As a result, Wu Kehua was still so polite, but he still insisted on saying the same thing - "According to the results of the Beijing referendum, our army will go to Beijing to take over peacefully."
Hey, with just this reason, you really can't find any fault with him!
Anyway, He Zhuguo is not that thick-skinned.
What to do then?
Keep managing up!
So, Commander He passed the message back word for word, and then slipped away in the name of "monitoring whether there were any unusual movements of the Japanese troops stationed in Tianjin", which made Zhang Xueliang so angry that he almost threw the teacup in his hand.
Did I ask you to be a mouthpiece?
Master Zhang had no choice but to send Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the Pingjin Guard, who had not yet been dismissed, to inquire again, but the answer he got was exactly the same.
Anyway, they have a very good attitude, they are not anxious, annoyed or angry, and they politely answer anyone who asks them, "according to the referendum results, etc.", and then continue to move forward firmly according to the established goals.
They didn't dare to fight, couldn't stop them, and couldn't convince them. Without clear instructions from their superiors, the Northeast Army along the way either pretended not to see anything or simply avoided them.
In this way, the 1st Battalion of the 715th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 129th Division set out from Shanhaiguan, passed through Luanzhou, Tangshan, Dachang... spreading intelligence all the way until it arrived at Tongzhou, which was already part of the territory of Beijing.
"Is Bali Bridge just ahead?
"Yes, Captain, here..."
A young Mongolian messenger introduced with a smile:
"...My great-grandfather died in battle here. After that, my family fell into poverty and we had to go to the Northeast to beg. I never thought I would be able to come back!"
"Senggelinqin..."
Wu Kehua rode on his horse, looking at the residents who were watching them secretly from a distance and the army that was surrounding them but dared not get too close, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Unexpectedly, I, a Jiangxi native, was not only sent to the Northeast by the Party Central Committee to serve as a spy, but was also sent to Peking by the Northeast puppet army to serve as a "nail" and "face" and even brought a large army with him.
Life is so amazing...
If I could live to see the victory of the revolution and grow old, my memoirs would surely be very interesting, right?
That is, I don’t know whether the Party Central Committee will allow me to make an impartial evaluation of that Japanese prince.
After briefly thinking about various things, Wu Kehua's face turned serious:
"Order! All troops change uniforms! Band! Prepare to play!"
"yes!!!"
the other side.
The enemy had already "attacked" Tongzhou, so Zhang Xueliang certainly could not have no reaction.
Therefore, he tried his best to mobilize almost all the troops that could be mobilized around Peking, led the troops himself, and watched from afar the army that was in a sense invincible.
Although his army was more than ten times the size of the enemy's, Zhang Xueliang still did not feel safe at all. Instead, he felt that a traitor who wanted to "borrow your head" might appear at any time and force him to flee to the north.
Alas, the situation has become so bad.
How can we defend Peking with these insects?
Zhang Xueliang sighed inwardly and continued observing through the telescope, only to find that the other party was actually...
Start taking off your clothes?
Um??
At this time, Pan Wenyu, who was ordered by Zhang Xueliang to go to the First Battalion to treat the patients, was shocked to see before he could even speak:
Like other soldiers, Wu Kehua, the battalion commander, received a set of neatly folded clothes wrapped in cardboard from a truck.
Then, he took off the green marching uniform, which was very enviable in both workmanship and style, and put on the new uniform that looked better.
Although Pan Wenyu had never seen it before, his first reaction was that it was a military salute.
服!
Gray-blue main color, gabardine, velvet, varnished vulcanized fiber, cowhide fixed lining, aluminum wire band with metal five-star emblem, brown shirt with black tie, military crossbody belt, breeches and high boots.
The entire set of military uniforms is neither complicated nor particularly gorgeous, but it inexplicably gives people a feeling of solemnity, calmness, restraint, low-key yet majestic.
In fact, after saying so much, one word is enough to describe it:
帅!
So fucking handsome!
Combining the German military uniforms and many excellent military salutes of later generations, the human figures repeatedly designed in Cloud Atlas can easily hit everyone's G-spot.
Appearance equals combat effectivenessjPg.
It was so good that Pan Wenyu forgot his purpose for a moment:
"Captain Wu, what are you doing?"
"Ah? Don't you understand? Of course it's about changing clothes.
"I know, I mean, what are you guys doing changing clothes for?
"Your Highness has ordered us to enter the city. We must behave ourselves in front of the people of Peking and not lose face."
After hearing this, Pan Wenyu finally understood the reason behind this inexplicable army.
It wasn't a so-called "peaceful takeover of Beijing" at all; they were just here to "establish their authority"!
Even Pan Wenyu felt secretly envious of such a majestic and magnificent military posture and appearance, let alone ordinary people and soldiers of the Northeast Army?
In the past, the other side was either far away or fighting on the battlefield, so nothing could be seen;
But now they have come to Beijing in full attire, and everyone can experience the might of this army up close!
Even if it's just material strength!
It is conceivable that this will arouse the envy of many people. Compared with the Northeast Army, which has become a bereaved country, how many people will "turn their hearts to the north" from now on!
Psychological warfare!
This is pure psychological warfare!
This is a psychological warfare that can only be played by someone who has fully understood the thoughts of the people of Peking and possesses strong power!
How could such a small country like Japan produce such an enemy who knows China so well and is so resourceful and talented!!!!
