Starting from the time Guan Cheng led his troops to throw incendiary bombs outside Gubeikou at around 3:30 in the morning, to when Hong Fei confirmed the effect of the air strike and returned with Guan Cheng's troops who arrived again, the People's Army Air Force's air strike lasted about two and a half hours.

During these two and a half hours of air raid, the People's Army Air Force threw more than 6,000 cloud bombs of all sizes into the valley outside Gubeikou, completely turning the Japanese gathering ground and nearby areas into a high-temperature melting furnace! Not only did the original snow melt all the local area, but the rocks were burned to pieces, and the sand and gravel in some places even appeared in a glazed state under the high temperature! Five divisions of the Kwantung Army that were about to enter the pass also completely entered hell in this flaming lava!

Although it was not dawn, such a big disturbance occurred near Gubeikou, which had already alarmed the people in the neighboring Luanping area. Even the early people in the Beiping and surrounding areas far away, which were far away from the Hundred Lords. Chapter 15: A Thousand Miles of Jumping (2) were alarmed!

The straight line distance from Luanping to Gubeikou is only more than 20 kilometers. Looking southwest from Luanping, the flames that soared into the sky and reflected the red half of the sky were particularly eye-catching in the dark night before dawn, and the earth trembled and sounded like muffled thunder. Coupled with the rumble of the People's Army Air Force fighter jets whizzing through the night sky, all reminding the local people: something big happened at Gubeikou!

"The red light reflects the sky. This is a sign of war and swords rising. It's so bad!" An old scholar who was older twisting his goatee on his chin and said to the neighbors seriously, "Don't go around these days, be careful of being in trouble with war!"

"Swish! From September 18th to now, when did there be no wars inside and outside the pass?" A young young man wearing glasses who looked sneered and whispered, "The sky is full of large planes, and they all come from the southwest, and they are definitely not from the Japanese. If you want me to say, the movement in the southwest should be the ambush of the Japanese by the People's Party! It's not certain that the People's Party will not be able to fight us for a long time!"

"No matter who hits anyone, the common people will suffer. Be careful not to make a big mistake!" Goathu Chapter 15: Thousand Miles of Leaping (2) Zi was unwilling to be left behind, so he argued, "Even if the People's Party Air Force attacked the Japanese ambush, they would throw bombs from the sky in a dark and dark way. The poor people in the southwest would suffer!"

"That's not necessarily!" A thin man in his fifties shook his head and said gloatingly, "The southwest is full of mountainous areas, and there are not many families. A few days ago, when my relatives from the owner of my shop came to visit relatives, they said that the passage into Gubeikou was blown up by a People's Party plane, and the Japanese drove away all the poor people in the southwest. They said that they were going to search for bandits these days. If the Japanese make such a fuss, the People's Party planes would throw the bombs off and would not blow up the poor people. However, the dog legs that followed the Japanese were probably reimbursed this time!"

The Japanese were also dying. In order to keep the secrets during the emergency repair period, they forcibly drove away the few villagers outside Gubeikou, and the limited village was also used as a military camp. During this period, the situation did not escape the eyes of Ge Fangwu, Xie Mengtao and others, and the report was sent back by the scouts in front. Zhao Zhenzhong and Zhou Mingyuan also adopted the plan to use a large number of cloud bombs to annihilate the enemy without any scruples. As for the losses caused to the local people, they would be compensated after the People's Party armed forces occupied Rehe.

"The People's Party made such a noise, not for the sake of a few Japanese devils and their traits." The young man with glasses said mysteriously. "In the past few days, there have been many Japanese soldiers heading southwest from Luanping. What if all of these were destroyed by the People's Party?"

"How could it be?" The thin black man was disbelief and shook his head and questioned, "How could all be knocked out by so many Japanese devils, both cars and cannons?"

"You can't say this nonsense. Be careful of being caught by the Japanese and suffering!" Goatbeard was shocked. He looked out of the alley and said, "Everyone is a commoner. After watching the excitement, he quickly went back to sleep. He stayed for a long time. When the Japanese were asking for it, the trouble would be great!"

After the goatee said that, no matter what others were, he hurriedly slipped towards his home. The neighbors thought about the Japanese who were still in power, and most of them dispersed in panic. Only the young man with glasses who were walking behind the crowd looked back at the night sky with red lights in the southwest from time to time, unable to hide his enthusiasm and yearning in his heart.

The people on the street quickly dispersed quickly after coming out of an alley or a few courtyards.

This is the case in Luanping. The early people from Beiping and nearby areas, which are hundreds of kilometers away, are also talking about the red flames in the sky in the north. Because the distance is too far and there are mountains in the middle, although the people in Beiping and surrounding areas cannot feel the tremor of the earth or hear the deafening explosion, it has also added many speculations. Based on the roar of planes in the night sky, it is believed that the north is fighting, and the red light soaring into the sky is full of war; there are also speculations that a strange treasure was born and the treasure light soared into the sky; there are also thought that a fire broke out in the wild mountains and forests... It is really hot and there is no consensus!

Originally, there were many speculations in Peking, but as the North China Front Army Command issued martial law orders and dispatched military and police to disperse and captured the relevant people, such as the birth of a treasure and the forest fire, the words gradually disappeared. More people in the Japanese army decided from the Japanese operations that it must be the Japanese who suffered a defeat in the north! Otherwise, how could they be so angry?!

The blasting effect was caused by the opposite effect, which was unexpected by the Japanese. However, the people in and around Peking City did not know the truth, but Chen Bing Daxing and Lu Xueyi, Wu Deqing and others in Liangxiang areas knew what was going on.

"Lao Wu, half of the sky is reflected in the north. The Kwantung Army will definitely be finished this time!" Through the telephone line set up between the two armies, Lu Xueyi connected the phone with the Third Army Command through the Yongding River, and solicited opinions excitedly, "Beiping is not Tianjin. There are too many pots and jars, so we cannot let go of our hands and feet and annihilate the Japanese army like Lao Gao. Look at how our two armies should cooperate? It is necessary to lose less and make progress smoother!"

Without the aids outside the pass, Okamura did not even have 10,000 troops in his hands. After the People's Party armed forces then wiped out the 110th Division from Nanyuan to Daxing, the remaining Japanese troops of the 1st Brigade were eliminated, Okamura could not even defend Beiping, and Beiping was ready to go! However, although Okamura could not defend Beiping, there were two ways to go: one was to retreat early; the other was to fight street battles in Beiping, and took the entire Beiping City to take the destruction of it.

If Okamura led the remnants of his troops to escape, it would be a pity, but it would be much better than the destruction of the entire Beiping City. Lu Xueyi solicited Wu Deqing's advice, hoping to find a suitable method to eliminate the Japanese as many as possible in the pass and strive to receive the Beiping City in a complete manner.

"Didn't the sir call to send airborne troops to carry out enemy airborne? As long as the airborne troops can control Nanyuan, you will command the troops to advance northward. With the joint efforts of the two sides, Lin Fangtaro and other Japanese troops will definitely have no other way, and Okamura Nishi's troops will be even scarce! If the airborne troops can really airborne the city under the eyes of the Japanese, it is hard to say whether Okamura can escape from Peking!" Wu Deqing paused for a moment and said further, "However, in order to avoid the siege of Okamura in all directions, we'd better leave a way for the Japanese to retreat north and eastward. In this way, the Japanese will basically not defend in Peiping!"

"I have thought about leaving a way out for Okamura and forcing him to escape." Lu Xueyi laughed, feeling a little bit like a hero's opinion. Then he said in confusion, "But the airborne troops were airborne in front of the enemy, for fear of too much casualties. The parachute was floating and was not sure!"

"There are indeed some problems with the parachutes in front of the enemy, but since this arrangement is true, you must be sure. Perhaps, it is possible to use those 'dragonflies' this time." Wu Deqing was also confused. After scratching his head, he suggested, "Wait a few hours, we will launch together! The Pingsui Line, the Beiping urban area east of the Pingjin Line is controlled by Lao Lu, and the area west of the railway line is controlled by me. After the Japanese in Beiping City are cleared, our troops will go west, north, and your troops will go east, north, and do their best. What do you think?"

After the People's Army sent troops to Suzhou and Mongolia last year, the outside world knew that the People's Party had an airborne force of 40,000 to 50,000 people. However, Wu Deqing, Lu Xueyi and others learned from internal news that the People's Army was building an army aviation force different from the current airborne force. Although they were in the Jinan War Zone, Wu and Lu could not see the details of the army aviation force, the rumors were still heard.

As for the division of zoning that Wu Deqing mentioned, it was not that he wanted to compete for merit with Lu Xueyi in Peiping, but that it was proposed based on the task of controlling the Pinghan Line of the Third Army and connecting with the People's Army to open the Pingsui Line, and the Fifth Army to control the Beiping urban area and cooperate with the Second Army to control Jidong and other places. After all, if the Third Army wants to open the Pingsui Line with the People's Army's eastward troops, it will be much more convenient to travel through the western urban area of ​​Beiping than to go around the Mentougou Mountains!

"Maybe those 'dragonflies' were really coming out." After hearing Wu Deqing's mention, Lu Xueyi understood and nodded and said, "Lao Wu, your proposal is very good, that's it! It's four o'clock now, and the airborne is at 5:30. Then we will launch it together!"

Wu Deqing and Lu Xueyi agreed on the cooperation and combat issues of the two departments, and waited for the attack time to arrive. At this time, the North China Front Army Command in the city of Peking was shrouded in a doomsday atmosphere. Okamura Yasuji was like a gambler who lost his old master, sitting in the command center with a dirt look in a daze.

"Your Excellency, the Kwantung Army's divisions and divisions went south are still unable to contact. Commander Umetsu just called, and the Kwantung Army also lost contact with the divisions and divisions going south." Miji Ogito said in a daze, "If there is anything unexpected happening to these five divisions, then the situation in North China can be..."

It seemed that what was said was ominous, and the big city shook his head and kept silent, but the meaning in his words was already very obvious, and the command center also showed a dead silence.

After a while, seeing Okamura still silent, Anda 23, who was stranded in Peking, said: "It's too early to say that the Kwantung Army's unexpected encounter in the southward division. We have to wait for dawn to confirm the news before talking. Perhaps it was because of the enemy's bombing that the radio station had a problem. In any case, I can't believe that the enemy's air raid could wipe out all five elite divisions in just two or three hours!"

Not only Anda Twenty-three did not believe it, but Okamura, Ogito and others could not believe it, but they could not explain the fact that the five divisions and the corps below lost contact at the same time.

Perhaps being comforted by Anda's words, Okamura Yanji rolled his eyes and asked in a dull voice: "Okayama-kun, is there any news on the base camp?"

"The base camp has called before, saying that you are one of the few generals in the empire. For the sake of the glory and morale of the empire, you are asked to evacuate outside the pass as soon as possible when the situation in North China is irreversible." Miji Ogito said in a silly tone, "According to the command of the base camp, I have made arrangements to ensure that you can evacuate from Peking in time and retreat outside the pass!"

Okamura was stunned at first, then rebuked with great anger: "As an imperial general, retreating when the situation is critical, it is a great shame! Now the situation is not clear but planning a retreat is a move that shakes the morale of the army! Aoshima, you are so disappointing!"

"Your Excellency, this is the order of the base camp! Moreover, I also think that your safety is not just your personal matter, it is related to the honor and morale of all the Chinese soldiers in the dispatch army and even the empire!" Ogito Miji bowed to Okamura Kuroka with a serious expression and said, "Please!"

"Your Excellency, Aizawa-kun acted according to the orders of the base camp. As long as the relevant arrangements are limited to a certain range and the confidentiality is done well, the morale of the army will not be shaken." Seeing that Okamura was about to break out again, Anda 23 hurriedly smoothed out the situation and asked Aizawa-kun. "Aizawa-kun, where did you choose to retreat outside the pass?"

The Bohai Bay has been blocked and the Beining Line has also been cut off. The newly repaired pass through Gubeikou is now under bombing by the People's Army and it is seen that it is out of service. The passage through Xifengkou and the cold entrance pass was bombed and damaged by bombing and damage. It has not been restored yet. The Second Army of the Guards has controlled the area from Lulong to Leting, posing a threat to these two passages from the south. Anda 23 is a little curious about the choice and grasp of the big city.

"The sea route is no longer open. Although there is no definite news from Gubeikou, it can basically be given up under large-scale bombing of the enemy. The cold mouth is a little close to Lulong, which is not a good choice. The only thing left is the road through Xifengkou." Ogito Sanji sighed. He continued, "Although the Xifengkou passage was severely damaged during the previous bombing, it has not been repaired yet, but vehicles cannot pass, and it is still no problem for people to cross on foot. Moreover, Xifengkou has been bombed by the enemy before. It has not been repaired, and it is difficult for the enemy to predict that we will choose to leave the customs from here. We are sure of safety."

"But have you ever thought about it? It's more than 200 kilometers from Peiping to Xifengkou, but it's only 100 kilometers from Lulong to Xifengkou. The enemy will arrive there first than us!" Compared with what Dachengtu said, "For a while, Anda 23 reminded, "Besides, the enemy's plane has controlled the sky of North China. Once the commander Beiping withdraws, no matter how fast he moves, it will be difficult to escape the enemy's airborne goals!"

"From Peiping to Xifengkou is farther than Lulong, but here is a road that can pass through cars, and the bridges are not damaged much on the way. However, there are only simple rural roads from Lulong. Several key bridges were blown up by the enemy during previous air strikes. If the operation is kept confidential, we can pass through Xifengkou before the enemy!" The big city has obviously put some effort into the choice of retreat route and said with confidence, "Although two hundred kilometers is a bit long, there is an imperial garrison from Sanhe to Zunhua. If the car is maneuvered, it will only take more than half a day to reach the enemy. As for the enemy's air force, as long as it is not most evacuated, the enemy will not pay too much attention to it with just a few cars!"

"There is not a big problem in distance, but there are quite a few dangers in air defense." Anda shook her head and sighed, "This is the only way to go now!"

"Mr. Oshima, I appreciate your kindness, but I will not leave the soldiers of the empire to escape alone!" Okamura said hard, "That will become a shame that I cannot cure for the rest of my life!"

"Your Excellency, retreat is based on the orders of the base camp, for the honor of the empire and the morale of the soldiers, not just for your personal considerations." Ogito insisted, "Andajun has been ordered to fight in Australia and will also evacuate with me. And I will stay and fight to the death with the enemy!"

Although moved by the choice of the big castle, the old Japanese devil of Okamura refused to retreat easily. It seemed that he wanted to do three attempts and three reluctances, and then he would have a trick that could not be disobeyed and tried his best.

As the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Ogito Miji, when two military-level commanders of Yoshimoto Saiti and Tobashi were absent, if Okamura retreated, he would have to stay. Therefore, although his heart was so painful, he had to pretend to be fat, showing a look of "It's better to be broken."

The relatively leisurely position of Anda Twenty-three was the chief of staff of the North China Front Army. After handing over the post of Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, he was already the commander of the 18th Japanese Army who was about to take office. He had sufficient reasons for retreat, so he naturally became more interested in the retreat plan of the Dachengdu.

Just when the three old Japanese were quarreling about defending and were in a hurry to look forward to the Kwantung Army's southward corps, more than 8,000 soldiers of the People's Army took off from Guisui Airport on nearly 300 new yz-1 helicopters, and briefly stopped at Zhangjiakou Airport to replenish fuel on the way, and rushed towards Beiping. At the same time, the 201st and 202nd Airborne Divisions directly under the headquarters of the People's Army were also in Baode and Baotou Airport on C-1 transport planes and flew towards Kailu and Chifeng in Rehe Province.

Although the destinations are different, these three units will carry out airborne operations in front of the enemy. However, the Special Column, which is now the Special Forces Brigade, is going to carry out a rope-subduction in the area of ​​Beiping, while the two airborne divisions are going to carry out parachutes in Kailu, Chifeng is going to carry out (to be continued).
