Super Anti-war System

To be precise, the Nanjing government can only control Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, part of Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi, Hubei, Fujian and other places, and several provinces are relatively independent.

However, the Nanjing government basically unified China and gained international recognition, becoming the only legal government in China.

In addition, it has to be said that the period from 1927 to 1936 was the famous golden decade.

In the past ten years, facing internal and external troubles, the Nanjing government focused on keeping a low profile and vigorously developing economic construction in an attempt to enhance national strength and resist foreign aggression.

Outside the sphere of influence of the Nanjing government, that is, in those relatively independent areas, there are many local warlords.

These warlords, like the former Northeast Army, did not obey the orders of the Nanjing government very much, and did not even pay taxes to the Nanjing government, and often broke out in melee.

These relatively independent areas include the Pingjin area.

After the failure of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the island countries forced China to sign the "Hemei Agreement"

According to this agreement, the Nanjing government withdrew the government troops in the Pingjin area.

As a buffer zone between the Nanjing government and the Kwantung Army, it was granted a certain degree of autonomy and guarded by the 29th Army.

The commander is Song Zheyuan, and the deputy commander is Tong Linge.

The 29th Army has a strength of 10 and has five divisions under its jurisdiction:

The 37th Division, commander Feng Zhi'an, stationed in Beiping, Nanyuan, Xiyuan, Fengtai;

The 38th division, the division commander is Zhang Zizhong, in charge of Tianjin, Dagu, Cangxian, and Langfang;

The 132nd Division, the division commander is Zhao Dengyu, stationed in Daming and Hejian in Hebei Province;

The 143rd Division, headed by Liu Ruming, is in charge of the Zhangjiakou, Zhangbei, and Huailai areas;

The 9th Cavalry Division, headed by Zheng Dazhang, is in charge of Tongxian and Nanyuan.

However, although the 29th Army has a large number of troops, the entire North China area is too large, so the troops are relatively scattered.

Moreover, Song Zheyuan's eyes were blinded in the face of the devil's foolish eyes, which also created a very dangerous situation.

Chapter 463 The Seven Seventh Incident

While deceiving Song Zheyuan, the North China Garrison occupied the Fengtai area through various tricks and tricks.

Then, the devils aimed at the nearby Marco Polo Bridge.

The North China Garrison did this with deep intentions.

Now, Beiping has been surrounded on three sides by the troops stationed in North China, and there is only one road left in the south, which can barely connect with all parts of southern China.

To the north is the sharp-tongued Kwantung Army with a strength of more than 20;

To the west is the Puppet Mongolian Army controlled by the Kwantung Army, with a total of eight divisions and about [-] troops;

To the east is the "Eastern Hebei Anti-Communist Autonomous Government" under the control of the North China Garrison Army. The name of the army is the Hebei Security Team, with a strength of 17000.

Beiping is surrounded on three sides, therefore, Lugou Bridge has become the only access to the outside world.

Once the Lugou Bridge is occupied by devils and the connection with the south is cut off, Beiping will become a dead city.

As we all know, Beiping has been an important town in North China for hundreds of years.

If Beiping becomes a dead city, the consequences will be disastrous.

After controlling Beiping, the territory of the 29th Army will be further compressed.

It won't be long before the North China Garrison will take all the Pingjin area sooner or later.

Then, if nothing else happens, the devils will extend their claws beyond the Pingjin area, and then invade the whole of China.

Therefore, the North China region in 1937, especially Beiping, can be described as a city that is about to be destroyed by wind and rain.

The storm is coming, but, blinded by the devil's false peace talks, Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, has not paid much attention to the encroachment of the troops stationed in North China.

However, within the 29th Army, grassroots officers and soldiers are eager to try, planning to fight the devils.

During the battle of the Great Wall before the all-out war of resistance, the one-meter-long and seven-pound sword of the 29th Army, together with the grenades, did indeed severely injure the devils.

Of course, Song Zheyuan, as the leader of one hundred thousand soldiers, is not stupid, and is also preparing for a full-scale war, but the preparation is not very sufficient.

Song Zheyuan ordered the main force, that is, the 37th Division, to guard the Lugou Bridge area.

In addition, the military headquarters of the 29th Army is also deployed in the Nanyuan area ten kilometers away from Lugou Bridge.

However, apart from this, Song Zheyuan didn't make any moves.

In addition, although the Nanjing government is well aware of the situation here, but because they want to hide their strengths and bide their time, and because they have no control over the Pingjin area, they can only act in a hurry.

In this situation, Ye Tian led the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army along the country roads or the wilderness, day and night, and finally came to the Lugouqiao area.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon on July 7th, and tomorrow night, the July 6th Marco Polo Bridge Incident will break out.

Ye Tian thinks that 93 people stay together, even though they are pretending to be a caravan, it is still too conspicuous.

So, after signaling the troops to stop advancing, Ye Tian ordered the five men to go out and scout immediately, and find a better station as soon as possible, so that the troops could go into hibernation so that they could join the battle tomorrow night.

The five men could not bear Ye Tian's high expectations, and three hours later, they completed the task gloriously.

A wretched devil dyeing workshop was easily taken down by them, and dozens of devils were wiped out.

After getting the news, Ye Tian led his troops and hurried over.

Ye Tian knew that this garrison was temporary, so he didn't ask the soldiers to reinforce it or build fortifications.

Moreover, on the night of July 7th and the morning of July 6th, Ye Tian continued to let five male servants scout the enemy nearby.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the news, after Qian Chuan Zilang was assigned to the station, Ye Tian took Fujiwara Kumiko and Ono Yuri to leave the station and scout around.

As in history, on the afternoon of July 7, the Third Battalion of the First Wing of the North China Garrison jumped out.

Major Captain Kiyonao Ichiki personally ordered the Eighth Squadron Captain Shimizu Setsiro to lead the team, and the whole army came to the Lugouqiao area with live ammunition and guns.

As in the past, in order to confuse the nearby Chinese defenders, the Eighth Squadron still used the guise of an exercise.

At 07:30 in the evening, the devil's exercise began.

However, at 10:40 in the evening, this group of devils claimed that during their exercise, some outsiders sneered.

Moreover, a soldier named Shimura Kikujiro, who was alive but not dead.

For this reason, the squadron leader Shimizu Setsuro and the head of the Beiping Secret Service jumped out one after another, and urgently contacted the military headquarters of the 29th Army, requesting to enter Wanping County for search.
