In other words, in most parts of China, the warlords don't listen to orders from the orthodox government, let alone pay taxes there.

The 29th Army is quite special. Other warlords obey the central government in name, but the 29th Army does not even have a name.

To be precise, the 29th Army is a third-party force between the Chinese government and the island nation.

Once it withdraws from the Pingjin area, and other sites in Huaxia are controlled by various warlords, the 29th Army has no other choice but to submit to the central government.

Of course, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July [-]th, Jiang Jieshi climbed up on Lushan Mountain and made a wave of Lushan Declaration.

Jiang Jieshi won the response of most warlords by relying on "the land is not divided into north and south, and people are not divided into old and young, and all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war."

Under such circumstances, even if the 29th Army wanted to defect to any friendly warlord, no one would dare to take them in.

Also, once the 29th Army is taken in, it will give people the impression of destroying the War of Resistance.

The brothers look at the wall, and resist their insults from the outside!

At this time, the whole of China is unanimous to the outside world, and it is really against harmony if there is any dispute.

The other warlords all swore an oath to the government, saying that they would send people, guns, and food to participate in the war of resistance.

Instead of actively participating in the War of Resistance, they took the opportunity to expand their armed forces!

The amount of information here is really too big, don't blame others for thinking wildly.

There is a saying that is good, it is better to be a chicken head than a queen!

I am used to being the boss, and there are not many people who have a reason to be someone else's subordinate. Song Zheyuan is such a person.

Can't bear it, no need to bear it anymore!

The opportunity to fight against the North China Garrison has come!

Even if you lose, you have to lose vigorously!

At that time, if it really doesn't work, just surrender to the central government!

So, facing the devil's unreasonable demands, Song Zheyuan sternly refused.

On the 27th, Song Zheyuan sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that he would respond to Jiang Jieshi's call and resolutely defend the country and resist the war!

When he found out that the 29th Army was going to show his sword against him, Qingyue Qingsi became furious, thinking that his dignity had been greatly insulted.

So, he immediately reported to the base camp of the island country.

On the same day, with the approval of the Emperor, the Japanese General Staff ordered the North China Garrison to launch an attack on the 29th Army.

In addition, continue to increase troops from the country to the Pingjin area.

This time, the devils increased their troops on a larger scale, with five divisions and about 5 devils!

Of course, the base camp of the island country issued a formal combat mission to Xiangyue Qingji:

Crusade against the Chinese army in the Pingjin area!

In this way, after half a month of deceiving the 29th Army, the bloody battle in Pingjin was detonated.

The devil's first goal is Tianjin City, and then Peiping.

The reason is simple. For many years, the headquarters of the North China Garrison was located in Tianjin.

Naturally, Tianjin was very unlucky and became the first target of the North China Garrison Army.

There is no hope for peace, and the bloody battle in Pingjin is inevitable!

With no way to retreat, the 29th Army automatically ignored the fact that the soldiers' military literacy and weapons and equipment were far inferior to those of the devils, and began to rise up and resist!

At the moment, in Tianjin, some troops from the 29th Division of the 38th Army are stationed.

The commander of the 38th Division, Zhang Zizhong, is a national hero.

Zhang Zizhong made a lot of military exploits in the Great Wall War of Resistance in the Partial War of Resistance, as well as in many battles in the War of Resistance in an all-round way.

Zhang Zizhong, a native of Linqing, Shandong, joined Feng Yuxiang's army in 1917 and later joined the government army.

Because of his numerous military exploits, Zhang Zizhong was promoted all the way, and was promoted to Lieutenant General Commander-in-Chief of the 33rd Army.

What I have to say is that Zhang Zizhong was extremely tenacious in combat, and often charged into battle as the commander-in-chief!

This is enough to make most people give it a thumbs up.

However, it was precisely because of this that it was embarrassing that his general star had fallen.

Chapter 620

In May 1940, in order to control the traffic on the Yangtze River and cut off the transportation line to Chongqing, the devils assembled an army of 5 and launched the Battle of Zaoyi.

In this battle, the 33rd Army at that time, that is, Zhang Zizhong's department, stood up bravely and was placed high hopes by the government.

At that time, two regiments of the 33rd Army were stationed on the west bank of the Xianghe River, and this place was the focus of the devils' competition.

Obviously, in the face of the devil's superior force, it is difficult for the two regiments to stick there.

Finding that the situation was not good, Zhang Zizhong, as the commander-in-chief of the group army, did not need to personally lead reinforcements, but he ignored the repeated dissuasion of his subordinates and insisted that the deputy commander-in-chief stay at the headquarters.

After Zhang Zizhong led more than 2000 people across the Xianghe River to the east, he attacked bravely all the way and cut off the 13th Division of the Devils.

Unwilling to see this situation, the devils were annoyed, so they encircled and attacked Zhang Zizhong's troops with an absolutely superior force.

Faced with this predicament, Zhang Zizhong did not flinch, and led his troops to start a shopping spree with the devils.

It's a pity that Zhang Zizhong was outnumbered, and the disadvantage of weapons was even more obvious. Zhang Zizhong's troops were wiped out by the Devils.

And Zhang Zizhong himself, after a long bloody battle, also fell under the devil's bayonet.

Of course, the devils also paid a heavy price.

It is worth mentioning that after the discovery of General Zhang's body, after repeated confirmation, the devils worshiped together!

Moreover, the devils also used good wood to make him a coffin and put up a wooden sign.

Even when his body was rushed back to the rear by his subordinates, the devil ordered to stop the air force's air strikes for a day to avoid injuring his body.

It can be seen that even the devils who advocated militarism at that time admired General Zhang Zizhong's performance in the War of Resistance.

Of course, the Chinese military and political circles also gave the highest standard of commemoration after Zhang Zizhong was shocked to learn of his death.

On the morning of May 5, when the coffin was transported to Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing by boat, Jiang Jieshi, Feng Yuxiang and other officials gathered at the wharf to greet him, and escorted him by boat to the wartime capital Chongqing for burial.
