The battle took place in Rehe, and the Northeast Army fought extremely hard. With the air superiority and artillery advantages of the Japanese and puppet troops, many battlefields were about to collapse.

Because the Japanese army divided into four groups and the target was Chengde, a large number of wanderers scattered their troops and retreated to Chengde along the road.

In addition to retreating to Chengde, they also went somewhere.

Not far away is the Great Wall area with dangerous mountains. All important roads are either busy or blocked.

They can only walk towards Chengde.

Some of them were scared by the war. No matter what national justice they were, they tried their best to throw down bullets before the battle began and ran all the way to the rear. Even if they went home to farm, they had to escape this war that seemed to have nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, because they ran the earliest, most of these people were stopped in Chengde area and became the hardworking laborers for Wang Hong to build Chengde fortifications.

Some people also had the idea of ​​going up the mountain to be a bandit.

Some of them were broken soldiers. They would hold the regiment and look for their own troops everywhere. Many of them were troops that had retired in an established manner.

Of course, this system is very small, and the biggest one is that a company-level officer brings one or two platoons of manpower.

One of the teams had the largest number of soldiers, close to 100.

This was a platoon of troops who retreated from the gap in the Japanese attack. They gathered many people along the way, but they did not find the original troops. When they saw Wang Hong's soldiers intercepting the retreating soldiers, they took the initiative to ask for their return.

Wang Hong was short of people here. The deserters he caught had no enthusiasm for doing anything. They just wanted to leave the war zone and let them dig fortifications, and even had to send troops to hold guns.

He saw that the soldiers had fought and had no choice but to retreat. He felt happy and found the platoon leader with the highest official title among the soldiers and chatted for a while.

After listening to the description of the platoon leader, Wang Hong then realized that the Northeast Army, which was on the front line, had a long front line, rigid tactics, and insufficient firepower, could not stop the Japanese artillery fire at all.

The biggest problem is that they can only use rifles and light machine guns to fight back. The very few heavy firepowers such as artillery and heavy machine guns were suppressed by planes and cannons and dared not move. The soldiers were extremely frustrated.

In addition, the troops are very unfamiliar with each other and are usually dirty. Not long ago, they were still opponents, and they mainly focus on their own defense areas. They don’t report any actions to friendly forces.

The reason why their troops were disbanded was that they were fighting and friendly forces on the same front had retreated, but their troops still didn't know.

When the Japanese army cut in from the side, the battle was attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops on both sides.

When the Japanese Air Force bombed and fired, the artillery fire was aimed directly, the command issued by the commander above was very untimely, and the troops below did not know where the enemy would emerge, so they arranged many useless measures. After being attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops on the whole line and being broken through by the Japanese and Japanese troops, they could only fight on their own.

Their platoon was originally at the forefront, but because the terrain was slightly better, the Japanese army attacked them once, and rushed directly to the battalion and regiment headquarters behind.

Seeing that the rear route was confiscated, the platoon had to retreat on its own. He had a small fire with the Japanese and puppet troops several times. After a few rounds, he never found the location of the battalion and regiment headquarters again.

On the way back to Chengde, they gathered a lot of people from our regiment, all of whom lost the battle, and arrived at Wang Hongshe's Luka.

Wang Hong thought to himself that this is a good soldier and a good officer. When the situation of the war is unclear, he knows to gather people and knows to rebel. So he patted the platoon leader named Ma and directly appointed him as the battalion commander, asking him to lead troops to rectify the defeated soldiers and deserters.

The platoon leader was stunned for a long time. The promotion was too fast and he didn't know how to do it.

With this group of defeated soldiers as an example, anyone who has established a system or has not lost his weapons and has actively returned to the construction has become the backbone of this containment team and has begun to prepare to take over the enemy in Chengde.

The cavalry in the militia also received their mission. Wang Hong asked them to take advantage of their familiar terrain to reconnaise various armies and enemy situations dozens of miles around Chengde.

When the caravan enters and leaves Chengde City, they ask the Chamber of Commerce to serve as a guarantee before traveling. This makes the Chamber of Commerce busy and protects these caravans every day. Although they are in places without soldiers, they still say to Wang Hong, but they already recognize Wang Hong's position as the boss on Chengde Street.

As more and more defeated places on the front line, in just two days, Chengde City actually accommodated seven or eight hundred defeated soldiers and deserters. The largest officer was actually a slightly injured company commander. Seeing that he could not find the troops, he retreated to Chengde with dozens of soldiers.

Wang Hong integrated these people into a regiment, and did not hand them over to Zhang Zuoxiang and Tang Yulin in the city. He directly promoted the company commander to the commander of the shelter regiment and stood guard outside the city.

But there are too many people, and even eating and sleeping have become a big problem. Wang Hong can only find a place in Chengde to coordinate the grain and territory.

Tang Yulin had been busy with his own affairs for a long time. Most of the local officials he appointed could not find anyone, and a few who were still there were still no questions.

Wang Hong had no choice but to bring his troops, smash Tang Yulin's warehouse, and transport food directly from it.

Seeing that Chengde was already in chaos and the people were surging undercurrents, Wang Hong replaced the main intersections leaving the city with his subordinates and the people from the shelter group, and the locals of the militia patrolled the city. There was no greater chaos in Chengde City.

Chengde was mainly because Kangxi built the Summer Resort, which gradually developed into a city.

The terrain in this area is high in the northwest and low in the northeast, and belongs to a mountainous and hilly area. It has distinct seasons. It is cold in winter and has less snow, and the temperature is low in spring and autumn, and there is less precipitation. It is cool in summer and has concentrated rainfall, and basically no hot periods, making it a tourist and summer resort.

A railway passes through Chengde, connects to Beiping in the west, to Chifeng in the east, and Chaoyang in the east.

However, the mountains and forests here are not dense, and as a war zone, the movement of the army cannot be concealed. No matter how the Northeast Army is mobilized and arranged, it cannot escape the reconnaissance of Japanese aircraft, and it is even more difficult to escape the small reconnaissance forces that the Japanese army has sent.

The Japanese army was getting closer and closer, and only the defenders around Chengde were left in Chengde City. When Zhang Zuoxiang's guards and a spy brigade of Tang Yulin's, Wang Hong asked the people from the shelter group to choose a position outside Chengde City where they could be on the battlefield and prepare for battle.

The militia had already known that learning martial arts could protect the family, but she was unwilling to go to war. Wang Hong did not force them to send out those who could ride horses and familiar with the terrain in the militia, just asking them to see the Japanese, shoot a shot at the sky, give an early warning to the city, and run back to report a letter. That's all.

Under this simple request, these people barely left the city and carried out the so-called military affairs.

Every chapter says: "Swords go green, swords go black". Qing and black are the meanings of the Spring Dictation. Qing means light. Swords go green means light weapons that cannot be hit hard and hard. Pay attention to avoiding the enemy's edge. If the sword is injured, it is a trivial matter. If the sword is beaten, it will be done. If the sword is clean and neat, you can fight back. If it is called "Ziqing" but not good, it is called "Ziqing". Therefore, the sword technique should avoid the blade when it encounters a gap. Black means ruthless. Swords means ruthless. Swords go black means who is more vicious in sword techniques. The moves are often afraid that they are not strong enough, so they cannot take the light and agile route.
