Chapter 220: The Fall of Pingjin (III)

On the evening of October 28, when the Rong 1st Division and the 72nd Army headquarters arrived at Da, Chief of Staff Chen Sunong heard from Zhangjiakou that Liu Ruming received an order from Song Zheyuan, not only agreed to the 72nd Army to pass through Zhangjiakou, but also allowed the 72nd Army to purchase necessary military supplies in Zhangjiakou.

"Liberation, you have a way." After receiving the telegram, Sun Yuanliang quickly called Chen Xiuwen and handed the telegram to Chen Xiuwen with a smile.

Chen Xiuwen looked at the telegram and found that Fan Changjiang was also sitting. He quickly smiled and said, "Military, we should still thank reporter Fan. If it weren't for his heavy articles, Song Mingxuan and Liu Ruming would never be so happy."

Fan Changjiang waved his hand and smiled, "I'm just reporting the truth in fact. However, I have just received news from Peking. The 29th Army has publicly clarified my report, saying that this is a complete misunderstanding, and that my report is fake news."

"Haha, I said to reporter Fan, you don't have to worry about your reputation loss at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the 29th Army trying to cover up and make up for Liu Ruming. Maybe when we arrive at Zhangjiakou, there will be reporters from major newspapers waiting for us long ago." Sun Yuanliang laughed. The troops will not waste time due to Liu Ruming's obstruction. Sun Yuanliang is in a good mood.

Although the result was as expected by Shen Xiuwen, he was far less optimistic than Sun Yuanliang. Although there was no news from the direction of Peking at present, Song Zheyuan's order was so quick, which means that he had lost his fantasy of peace talks with the Japanese and was ready to let go. Large-scale wars may break out at any time.

"Military, since Liu Ruming has agreed to let the Rong Yi Brigade stop any stops along the way and speed up. If possible, if we fight, we can also restrain the attacks of the Neon Army on the side." Chen Xiuwen said after pondering for a moment.

Sun Yuanliang understood Chen Xiuwen's meaning, and the smile on his face slowly calmed down. He nodded and said, "Yes, once Peking is in danger, your troops can use the South exit as the advance base to attack Changping sideways, and restrain the Neon Army's offensive."

"Okay, military throne, without further ado, I will change my car and set off immediately and act with Rongyi Brigade."

When Fan Changjiang, who was standing beside him, he stood up and said, "General Chen, please allow me to follow your division headquarters for an interview. Your place is the front line of the anti-Japanese war, which is first-hand news."

"This..." Chen Xiuwen looked at Sun Yuanliang with some embarrassment.

"Luan Restoration, let him follow him. During the Battle of Songhu, he went deep into the front line of our 88th Division. Even if you don't let him go, he will follow him." Sun Yuanliang said with a smile.

Chen Xiuwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay. However, reporter Fan is at the forefront. You must listen to my arrangements and not run around. In addition, your assistant cannot go with you, and must stay in the military headquarters." Although he agreed to Fan Changjiang's interview with the army, Chen Xiuwen was mainly worried about Zeng Jianing's safety.

"No problem, I can do work with reporters." Fan Changjiang responded quickly.

On the morning of the 30th, the honorary First Division, which had been changing cars from Datong overnight, arrived in Huailai County, which was less than 100 miles away. In the carriage, Chen Zui was reporting to Chen Xiuwen the latest situation that had just been sent from Peking.

"... Nanyuan fell on the 29th, Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, were killed. In the early morning of the 29th, the first and 11th Mixed Brigade of the Neon Army, from Changping, and the Neon Army of the Goryeo Camp rushed towards Shahe, Xiaotangshan, and Beiyuan with the cooperation and support of the plane. Although the 29th Army's headquarters still fought bloody battles and resisted step by step, the strength of the enemy and us was very different. As the evening approached the North City Circle.

Retreat. In order to reverse the passive situation, the 29th Army fought back and launched an offensive to Langfang, cut off the enemy's retreat, and threatened its side. However, they were soon repelled by the enemy's return troops and retreated to Anci that night. At the same time, Fengtai was also lost again. After the night of the 29th, the battle situation became even more unfavorable. The neon army in the south and northern suburbs of Beiping had all approached the city wall. At present, the 29th Army's combat troops outside the suburbs of Beiping have retreated to the right bank of Yongding River."

"...In addition, the 38th Division of the 29th Army stationed in Tianjin, led by Deputy Division Commander Li Wentian, cooperated with the Tianjin security police force. After the Beiping side started on the 29th, it launched an attack on the various agencies and concessions in Japan in Tianjin. The 38th Division once captured the Beicang Airport and the station station stationed by the Neon Army, approaching the Haiguang Temple barracks in the concession in Japan. However, the Neon Army's reinforcements were very fast and quickly returned to Tianjin. The 38th Division fought continuously and was forced to give up Tianjin in the early morning of this day and retreated to the Machang area. In addition..."

Listening to Shen Zui's report, Shen Xiuwen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He originally thought that the 29th Army could last for two or three days, but he didn't expect that the entire army would retreat in just one day. Now even if the Rong Brigade has arrived at Nankou and then launched an attack on Changping, it is irrelevant to the overall situation. With the retreat of the 29th Army, the loss of Pingjin has become a foregone conclusion.

What made Shen Xiuwen particularly sad was that many college students were trained in the Nanyuan Military Training Group's student army training group. As the former capital, Peking includes many famous national universities such as Yenching University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, etc. These college students all joined the army with a heart of serving the country. They were carrying the heavy responsibility of the nation and as pillars of the country, but because they chose the wrong army, Song Zheyuan fell on the battlefield too early with incompetent command.

"What a pity, the student army training team in Nanyuan! Is Rongyi Brigade now starting to set up defenses?" Shen Xiuwen was nestling in the sofa and sighed.

"Cheng De'an's Rong 1 Regiment has begun to deploy defenses at the Nankou Station and Longhutai; Rong 2 Regiment is heading towards Deshengkou and Sulinkou; the supplementary Regiment has now arrived at the front line of Zhenbiancheng and Henglingcheng. Chief of Staff Qiao has ordered to seize the time and build a defensive position. Without the order of the division headquarters, you must not attack without authorization." Shen Zui replied quickly.

After saying that, Shen Zui looked at Shen Xiuwen's sad expression, and felt a sense of regret. He was just a normal student back then, and knew how difficult it was for a person to go to college. Now thousands of young students have fallen under the guns of the Neon Army. He felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but persuade him softly: "Brother, no one can be resurrected when he dies, so don't be sad."

Shen Xiuwen smiled miserably: "Yes, people cannot be resurrected." As he said that, he stood up from the sofa and breathed a long sigh, raised his head and said to Shen Zui: "It's too boring to stay in the car. Shuyi, accompany me to go down for a walk."

He nodded intoxicatedly and walked out of the car with Shen Xiuwen.

"Shuyi, although we have been together, we have not been walking together like today for a long time." Chen Xiuwen said to Chen Zui with emotion as he walked.

"Brother, since the first day I met you, I have known that you are committed to fighting Japan. Now I am burdened with the burden of fighting Japan. I am satisfied that I can always follow you and make a contribution to fighting Japan." Chen Zui turned his head and looked at Chen Xiuwen and said emotionally.

"Born the burden of anti-Japanese war? Shuyi, you are so proud of me." Chen Xiuwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "A person's power is too limited. All I can do now is to kill a few Japanese devils and let my brothers follow me have fewer casualties, and I am satisfied."

He nodded silently, then hesitated and said, "Brother, Director Sun has asked me about Chen Yiming, what do you think?"

Chen Zui stopped and looked at Chen Zui's worried expression. Since Chen Yiming discovered that Sun Wenhua had no reason not to know. Although it was the period of national g peace talks, the word GCD is still very sensitive, especially among the direct troops. Chen Xiuwen knew that Chen Zui was worried about himself. But now that foreign enemies invaded, Chen Xiuwen was tired of killing each other. He understood Chen Zuiming, and at the same time, he was very dissatisfied with Chen Yiming who had once admired him. His own troops were determined to fight against Japan. Why did you come to your own troops if you have nothing to do? If Chen Yiming was determined to fight against Japan, no matter what party he was from, Chen Xiuwen was very welcome. However, while the troops were invading, they unauthorizedly leaked the secret action plan of the troops. Although it was not leaked to the Japanese, it seemed unforgivable to Shen Xiuwen. But he couldn't bear to hand over Chen Yiming.

"Shuyi, I'm going to tell you, I want to value Chen Yiming. If he is not from there, I want to use him. Now that the Japanese have hit the doorstep, is it interesting to fight with us? Besides, the two sides of the country are in negotiations, and now the Japanese are starting war in North China, and GCD is also an anti-Japanese war. Perhaps Chen Yiming can also play a role when he is there. So, I want to let Chen Yiming go." Chen Xiuwen looked intoxicated.

Chen Zui frowned slightly, but immediately said, "Brother, what do you say do? Just tell me what to do."

Chen Xiuwen looked at Chen Zui's sincere look and felt a little relieved. It seemed that Chen Zui was still a loyal man. He smiled and patted Chen Zui's shoulders and said, "Shuyi, I won't make it difficult for you to do." As he said that, he continued walking along the platform with his hands behind his back.
