The 52nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army has two divisions, the commander of the 2nd Division, Zheng Dongguo, and Zhang Yaoming, the commander of the 25th Division.

Coincidentally, the three of them are all classmates from Huangpu First Class.

In March 1933, Guan Linzheng was ordered to lead the 25th Division to go north with the commander of the 17th Army Xu Tingyao to participate in the Great Wall War of Resistance.

The troops arrived at the Gubeikou front line and occupied the second-line position. Because the Northeast Army King Yizhe's troops guarding the position on the front line was defeated at once, he personally led a regiment to fiercely fight back against the Japanese army. The two sides fought fiercely and the battle was fierce.

Guan Linzheng was injured by a grenade and became a bloody man. More than ten officers and soldiers around him were killed in battle. He still unwaveringly commanded his troops to fight bravely, and finally repelled the enemy and occupied the highlands and occupied the northern bank of the Chaohe tributary (Gangou) highland. Under the leadership of the division commander, the 25th Division fought bloody battles with the 8th Division of the Japanese army at Gubeikou for three days, with more than 4,000 casualties.

Guan Linzheng was awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. Zhang Jiluan, the chief editor of the Ta Kung Pao, wrote an editorial "Patriotic Man, Blood Sprinkled on the Battlegrounds" to congratulate him.

In 1937, Guan Linzheng was promoted to commander of the 52nd Army, and was in charge of the 2nd Division (the commander Zheng Dongguo) and the 25th Division (the commander Zhang Yaoming), and entered the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In the autumn and winter of that year, he led his troops to engage in the anti-Japanese struggle on the Pinghan Railway.

Last year, the 14th and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army, and one unit of the 16th Division invaded the Zhang River from Feixiang, Cheng'an, Linzhang and other counties in southern Hebei. He led the 52nd Army to engage in a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the 14th Division of the Japanese Army Kenji Doihara on the south bank of the Zhang River.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand combat several times, retreated and moved back, lost and recovered, and suffered heavy casualties. As the Guan army bravely fought the enemy, they finally led the Japanese army to retreat to Handan and Wu'an areas on the north bank of the Zhang River.

Guan Linzheng learned from the scout report that the Japanese army had built an airport and a gasoline depot outside Handan City, so he immediately drew battalion commander Liang Zhiwei from the 25th Division and asked him to lead the first battalion troops to attack the airport at night, burned down more than 10 Japanese aircraft, seized a large number of guns and ammunition, and was commended by Cheng Qiandianling, the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone.

After the troops were allocated to the Fifth War Zone.

This anti-Japanese tyrant was unambiguous in fighting the Japanese and was also very disgusted with local warlord separatist forces.

He believed that the reason why the Japanese dared to invade the Republic of China was that the division within the Republic of China was caused by the disobedience of local governments and the unification of national strength in various places, and the inability to consolidate national strength. At this moment when the country was in trouble, local warlords should immediately hand over military power and regime.

Of course, he also believes that this cannot be accomplished overnight.

He still recognized Li Zongren and Liu Xiang's efforts to the War of Resistance.

Under the unified command of the Fifth War Zone, with the close cooperation of the Sichuan Army and Xue Yue, the Gui Army, the Northwest Army, the former Third Army of Han Fuju, the Yunnan Army, and the Gui Army did not retreat. The patriotic enthusiasm shown by the bad troops of these local warlords not only shocked Guan Linzheng, but also shocked his two classmates.

The 66th Army of Sichuan Army came from north and the 74th Army went from west to east.

The 52nd Army went from south to north.

After a fierce attack one day and one night, the 114th Division of the Japanese attack reduced its position to several low hills, and resisted stubbornly.

In order to cover the 74th Army, they took the lead in withdrawing defense.

The 2nd Division Zheng Dongguo's troops led the remnants of troops to the north and took over the western position.

At this time, the Japanese plane arrived.

The Japanese targeted the Sichuan Army, with more than 100 aircraft, bombing the area behind the Sichuan Army's attack line.

When Guan Linzheng heard the news, he revealed a complex emotion.

The Central Army is the real main force of resistance of the National Government.

However, in this war, several local warlords in Sichuan snatched the limelight from the War of Resistance.

Now that the Japanese have gathered such a large group of aircraft to bombard the Sichuan Army, is it Feng Tiankui's command center?

"Yaoming, something must have happened to the Sichuan Army. Should I send an army to see it?"

"Military seat, haven't you always hated warlords?"

As a classmate and subordinate, Zhang Yaoming knows a lot about his fat appearance.

I wish I could directly manage all local administrations and local military forces.

"Liu Xiang is different from Feng Tiankui. Not to mention, the ammunition we added last month was produced by Liu Xiang's arsenal. Their westward migration plan has preserved industrial power for the country. Besides, our battle to encircle and annihilate the Itagaki heavy army group was entirely due to the bloody persistence of the Sichuan army, which gave us a chance to win!"

"Let the 2nd Division send a small army to see?"

Zheng Dongguo also felt that he should go and have a look if he had the opportunity to help a group of Sichuan troops.

However, some concerns were leaked in the eyes of several people. The Military Commission had complex relations with local governments and had too close contact with Sichuan generals, which was not only an issue that affected the future.

He was targeted by the spies from the political training department in the army.

Even if he opened his mouth, he couldn't explain it clearly, and he also implicated his own people.

The three people were struggling, and at this time, He Guoguang's telegram arrived.

"Send a report to Deputy Commander He, we will do our best to hold back the 114th Division!"

Guan Linzheng, who was worried that he had no excuse to send troops without permission, would be sued by a group of people in the Legion headquarters to complain, was overjoyed, and while giving a call to the communications officer.

Guan Linzheng told Zhang Yaoming and Zheng Dongguo.

"Do you two want to meet Feng Tiankui?"

"Of course I want to see this guy, who led the 66th Army to fight the Japanese is like cutting melons and vegetables. I, Mr. Zhang, admired it. What the military captain means, let's lead the troops to rescue him?"

"Of course, I, Guan, don't like to owe everyone favors. In this battle, the 20th Corps owed a big favor to the Sichuan Army. Since I have the opportunity to repay, why don't I go? Besides, my 52nd Army will not be saved when I die. Who dares to cooperate with my 52nd Army in the future? Notify the guard map, Cao Bangyou Regiment of the 25th Division, set off together, detour through the 114th Division position, and rescue the Sichuan Army!"

"As for the order!"

On the battlefield, he looked up and saw that the 52nd Army was closest to the location where the Sichuan Army had an accident. He had the opportunity to rescue Feng Tiankui, so that he owed the 52nd Army a favor.

It's a very cost-effective deal.

Looking at Zheng Dongguo's raised hands, Zhang Yaoming and Guan Linzheng high-high with him.

They arranged for the deputy division commander and chief of staff to organize firepower and attack the 114th Division with all their might.

The three commanders and division commanders personally led two regiments to detour from the west to rescue the bombed Sichuan Army.

But when they bypassed the 114th Division, they were shocked.

There have been many tragic scenes of Guan Linzheng fighting with the Japanese.

Light and heavy machine guns and rifles, ground-to-air, have no chance of winning.

The desperate Sichuan Army was red-eyed and did not care about the injured or dead brothers who were lying beside him. As long as they could still pick up guns, they were relying on their positions and comrades-in-arms, like Tang Jikede, who was facing a windmill, shot at the plane in the sky.

The Japanese plane lost the bomb and did not leave.

Swiveling at the stragglers charging on the ground.

The Sichuan Army went crazy, whether it was running on the road or relying on trenches on the ground.

There was no avoidance or air defense, and angry flames ejected from his eyes, whether it was a machine gun or a rifle in his hand, all the weapons in his hand were raised.

While firing into the sky, he rushed towards the core of the position.

"Military captain, the Sichuan Army is anxious. Could it be that something really happened to Feng Tiankui!"

"My God, so many planes, you'll be dead when you lean on it!"

"As long as I order, all the light and heavy machine guns are set up on people and charge scatteredly! Give the Sichuan Army a place to help."

After observing carefully for a long time, the Japanese plane should have been bombed.

This kind of strafing is still very limited in killing soldiers, especially the surrounding area is full of trenches.

The Japanese army has discovered the Central Army.

A Japanese plane in the sky was already coming towards them.

Guan Linzheng ordered without hesitation that all the brothers searched for the trenches on the spot.
