Historically, the Battle of Rehe began in Shanhaiguan, but the Battle of Rehe started directly from Rehe, but the Shanhaiguan side did not affect it.

The Kwantung Army did not have any intentions in the pass, but was advancing step by step. It just felt that the time was not ripe. In addition, the Kwantung Army had no effective contact mechanism with the Japanese troops in Tianjin, so the actions of both sides could not be unified.

But after the Rehe started, the Japanese army in the pass also began to move.

Especially the Japanese garrisons of Shanhaiguan began to provoke trouble. At 9:00 a.m. on the 3rd, Lieutenant Oshita, the Japanese garrison team stationed in Shanhaiguan, and others, who were stationed in Shanhaiguan, used the excuse of discovering grenades from the Zhongzha Team near the camp gate. They led their troops to destroy the city's communications first, cut off the telephone line, and then attacked Nanguan and Shanhaiguan Stations. At this moment, the plainclothes team of the puppet army took the opportunity to enter the city, firing guns everywhere, causing greater chaos in the city, and attempting to occupy Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop.

Shi Shi'an, the commander of the 626th Regiment of the 9th Brigade of He Zhuguo of the Northeast Army stationed in the city, immediately ordered the troops to resist and repel the Japanese army.

After retreating, the Japanese opera sent a call to the Tianjin garrison troops and the 8th Jinzhou Division to request support. At noon on the 3rd, the following four unreasonable requests were made to the 9th Infantry Brigade stationed in Shanhaiguan, and the reply was limited to 50 minutes.

That is: (1) The Japanese military guards are returned to Nanguan;

(2) Retreat the garrison in Nanguan;

(III) Police and security teams retreating to Nanguan;

(IV) Retreat the defenders on the city.

The above unreasonable requests were immediately rejected by our troops.

After receiving the telegram from the old fox, Lu Shan felt like he was a different life. He thought that the Kwantung Army's combat plan this time was limited to outside the pass. They were not ready for war within the Great Wall.

But he still ignored one thing. That is the Kwantung Army's movement. Can the Japanese garrison stationed in Tianjin be content with loneliness?

Now the Japanese generals are all warlike at heart, and they have long reached a consensus on invading China!

If the fight outside the pass starts, can it be quiet inside the pass?

The current commander of the Tianjin garrison Army in Japan, Takataro Nakamura, strongly advocated the establishment of a pro-Japanese puppet regime in North China. This guy frequently operates in North China, attracting some expired warlords and politicians from the Beiyang period, planning North China autonomy, and moving closer to Japan!

Although Muto Shinyi launched the Inkawa combat plan a little hastily, in his eyes this is an opportunity, a huge opportunity to take the opportunity to expand Japan's interests in North China!

The sky above Shanhaiguan was suddenly shrouded in the dark clouds of war!

Although the anti-war voices in Japan are getting louder and louder, they have basically lost their binding force for the bold and reckless generals ahead!

The attitude of the Japanese emperor also seemed to be ambiguous, which made the general Sadao Araki, who opposed the expansion of the war, feel at a loss!

On the contrary, at this time, the Navy chose to remain silent. The Navy had just made a vote from Shanghai and felt it was not very satisfying and wanted to get a second vote, but there should be an excuse. Okay, the opportunity has come.

The Peiping side was even more panicked. Fierce battles were still in full swing on the other side of Rehe, and the reinforcements had just stepped forward but the backyard caught fire.

How to put out the fire will cause headaches among the officials in Peking!

The Shanhaiguan incident broke out, which even poured a pot of oil on the fire of the Chinese people's anti-Japanese war, and the anti-Japanese parade became more and more intense!

The situation in North China has become unprecedentedly tense, and the smell of gunpowder has been asked in the air, and the situation is likely to be out of control.

The Japanese army was aggressive. On the one hand, the Peking Military Branch asked the consuls of Britain, the United States and France to mediate, and on the other hand, mobilized troops to aid the Pingjin area. Shang Zhen's 32nd Army urgently transferred Tangshan, and part of the 29th Army of the Third Army of Song Zheyuan was transferred to Jixian in northeast of Peking, Zunhua and Yutian areas, and the 29th Army was located in Zunhua.

Tianjin and Peking Concentrated Northeast Army is an infantry brigade, and the strongest military force in the entire North China is concentrated in the Pingjin area!

No one knows when the war will break out, and this moment is calculated in minutes and seconds.

"The main target of the Japanese army is the Rehe River. The battles along the Great Wall will not be too motivated, but the Shanhaiguan side may have a fierce battle!" After careful consideration, Lu Shan came to a conclusion!

Part of this conclusion is based on the current situation, and part of it comes from understanding history.

The ambitions of the Japanese army are undoubtedly huge, but the current Japanese generals are not so confused that they lose their minds. Therefore, although they are taking big steps, they are still very cautious. They know that the time for a full-scale war is not ripe. Their purpose is to force China to give up more benefits step by step, so that they can obtain more resources and wealth to strengthen themselves, and to prepare for the full invasion of China!

The situation in Northeast China today is different from history. Due to the existence of the Eastern Anti-Japanese War, the Kwantung Army cannot let go of its hands and feet to launch the complete version of the Rehe combat plan. Japan's less than 10,000 troops in Tianjin are less than 10,000. With this force, it cannot compete with more than 100,000 Northeast Army in Pingjin. If they really launch an attack forcibly, the Tianjin garrison will probably become history!

If the Kanto Army did not want to burn the war into the gate, then Takataro Nakamura would have no way to expand the situation.

And if the Kanto Army was willing to pull Takataro Nakamura at this time, the situation might be different.

This is something that made Muto Nobuyoshi feel embarrassed. Although he had already vented Takataro Nakamura about the Inuikawa combat plan, the emergency in the Shanhaiguan made him very dissatisfied. The Inuikawa combat plan entered a critical period. If he did not maintain restraint at this time, he actually jumped out to make trouble!

But Takataro Nakamura didn't care about him, and he couldn't call him to him and scolded him fiercely!

The Japanese army suffered a loss at Shanhaiguan, so this situation naturally needs to be retrieved, but the Japanese army in the pass dare not move easily. Once the Japanese army in the pass is dispatched, the situation will escalate, and the Northeast Army in the pass can immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army in the Pingjin area!

Before things were figured out, it could be said to be a conflict, a relatively isolated time, not the original intention of Japan.

But once the Japanese garrisons in other regions move, they will fight undeclaredly. Takataro Nakamura dares not take this risk and can do some small moves secretly.

But whether to pull it or not. Xiyi, the commander of the 8th Japanese Division, who received the telegram for help, chose to pull it without hesitation!

The reason is very simple. He and Takataro Nakamura are 21 classmates at Lu University. They had a good relationship when they went to school.

He has a classmate, and this is just a small task for Nishiyi. Takataro Nakamura has so much encouragement, but he doesn't!

Of course, the 8th Division is now under the Kanto Army, so he still has to obey the orders of the commander Muto Nobuyi!

Xi Yiyi responded quickly and sent troops to Shanhaiguan!

The defenders of Shanhaiguan also received orders from superiors to strictly guard Shanhaiguan and not lose an inch of their territory!

The Shanhaiguan War is about to break out.

Shanhaiguan is too far from Lushan. He just wants to take care of it, and it is beyond the reach. No matter whether it is the Northeast Army or the Japanese army, it is impossible for him to obey his command, so he can only order the General Staff to always pay attention to the situation in Shanhaiguan, and he devotes his energy to Taonan!

"According to the intelligence provided by our intelligence personnel, the Japanese army has sent more reinforcements to Taonan. The first and fourth detachments of the Taoliao Army stationed in Xinjing, with about 3,000 people. They set off from Changchun early this morning and wanted to advance along the Yongjiu, Changling and Taipingchuan Highways. It is expected to arrive in as early as three days!" Lu Zheng explained.

"There are also reinforcements, which are part of Xing'an Garrison Army, with about 2,000 people, led by Guo Wenlin, and spit out from Shebo. It is expected to reach Taonan tomorrow morning!"

"The third reinforcements, the third squadron of Taoliao temporary unit stationed in Tongyu, Suo Jingqing's troops were about 1,000. However, Suo Jingqing was timid and did not lead his troops to help after receiving a telegram from Zhang Haipeng!"

"It seems that this Suo Jingqing is not stupid. If he comes out of Tongyu, it will be like sending himself to our mouths, and he has no power to fight back at all!" Lu Shan put down the teacup in his hand and smiled.

"Mr. Lu, do you want to open up the elm?" Lu Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw the place where Lu Shan's tea cup was placed.

"Those who know me are Lu Zheng!" Lu Shan laughed.

"Our army besieged Taonan, but it was not possible to take it down for a while. We still need to use Taonan to attract Japanese and puppet troops to rescue him. Therefore, Taonan only sieges and not attacks, or fights a little, and only needs to put psychological pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops in the city!" Lu Shan said, "Tongyu is the place we must pass to go south. If we can take Tongyu, we will threaten the Japanese army in Tongliao!"

"The command headquarters of the Kwantung Army General East Road is located in Tongliao. Tongliao also has a military airport for the East Army and a large amount of combat preparations!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"Yes, there are not many Japanese troops stationed in Tongliao City, only one brigade, and the puppet army only has two regiments of Cheng Guorui, plus some police and military police forces. The most important thing is to have a Kwantung Army flight squadron!" Lu Shan said, "If we can get rid of this flight squadron, then we will have much more battles in Chifeng!"

"Will the Japanese army send planes to help Zhang Haipeng defend the city?"

"It's hard to say. Air bombs are not ordinary shells. They can hold dozens of them. It depends on whether there are any Japanese people in Zhang Haipeng who think it's so important!"

"Send a report to Wang Rong, first open Yu and then attack Taonan, but let him be careful of the pseudo Xing'an army and solve the pseudo Xing'an army if necessary!" Lu Shan ordered.

"yes!"

"Mr. Lu, telegram from the Rehe Column!"

"What did you say?" Lu Shan asked, lit a match, lit a cigarette, and took a sip.

"The women's team won a big victory, wiped out a squadron of the Japanese and a company of the puppet army, a total of 294 people, captured two Japanese scouts, twenty-six puppet army, and seized..."

"Oh, the women's squad has less than 30 people in total, and there are many wounded and sick. How did they fight this battle?" Lu Shan was surprised.

"It was the battle led by the women's squadron. Qiu's squadron led a squadron to participate in the battle, and a face from the Second Brigade and a female bandit. The total total was about the same as the Japanese and puppet troops!

"I'm telling me, it's so amazing to have more than twenty people who can achieve such a record!" Lu Shan understood!

"Who is in charge of this battle? Is it the acting team leader Gu Xiaoying?"

"No, it's Colonel Liu Yuyao!"

"I knew it was her. This girl is good at commanding skills. Lao Ying, she is asking us a problem!" Lu Shan said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Lu, have you decided to send her to the advanced command class to study anyway?" Ying Ruoyu took off her glasses and wiped them with the corner of her clothes.

"Well, she has this talent, and we can't bury it anymore. As long as we recognize the mistake and correct it!" Lu Shan smiled.

"Maybe our Dong Kang really wants to produce a female general!"

"Well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the recognition of the Nanjing Government. Those old men will not want to see a little woman riding on their heads!"

"Ha ha……"

"The Intelligence Bureau used the codebook provided by Colonel Liu Yuyao to intercept a large number of telegrams from the Japanese army and is deciphering!"

"Okay, but the Japanese army soon received the news that the Yokogi advance team was eliminated. The situation of the password book being seized by me may be immediately known by the Japanese army. I will send a call to Station 701, intercept the Japanese army's telegram, and report it immediately!" Lu Shan ordered.

"What we intercepted is only the basic communication password of the Japanese army. The encryption level is not high. It may not be easy to obtain higher intelligence through this password book!"

"The Japanese army's password programming is in line with each other, especially the Japanese army's communication password. As long as we master their encryption programs, it is not difficult to crack. Although our password cracking starts from scratch, it is at least much better than those in China!" Lu Shan said.

At 2:19 pm on November 3, 21, the 21st year of the Republic of China, Ling Yuan, who had fought hard for two days and nights, was declared lost.

The 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, led by Lieutenant General Masayuemon Sakamoto and Major General Matsuda Koyama, the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division, entered the ruined Lingyuan Castle in a mighty way!

The 38th Infantry Brigade of the Rehe Guard defending Lingyuan fought to the death, and only less than 600 soldiers were left to evacuate.

Wan Fulin temporarily organized the 129th and 130th Division of the Fourth Army to withdraw Lingyuan's defenders and retreated to Pingquan.

Pingquan is the east gate of Chengde. Once Pingquan is lost, Chengde's gate will be like a hole!

Such a major victory made the Kwantung Army ecstatic. The Northeast Army was known as a strong army, but it was vulnerable to the Kwantung Army, and it was even worse than the East Anti-Japanese War that had fought with the Kwantung Army for several months before!

The number of casualties of the Rehe defenders was also shocking. Nine out of ten, one of the 38th Brigade was completely killed, not including the police and ordinary people who helped defend the city. Conservatively estimated that Ling Yuan's total casualties were probably as many as tens of thousands in two days!

As for the number of casualties of the Japanese army, the Asahi Shimbun reported that only 154 casualties were killed and killed in the battle against Ling Yuan!

The huge casualties shocked the Chinese people, and also caused great humiliation from the Northeast Army!

Why are they all Chinese troops? Dong Kang fought with the Japanese, with a one-to-one casualty ratio. If a Chinese soldier dies, a Japanese soldier will definitely die, which will bring the same damage!

However, the Northeast Army had such a high casualty ratio, which was not considered the casualties of innocent people, so the casualties ratio was too high!

Some people questioned the number of casualties in the Kwantung Army, believing that the Japanese army was cheating and the Kwantung Army had a serious record, which is a chronic record. The Japanese army may have few casualties, but there are definitely more than 150 people, at least three to five times!

It is conservatively estimated that the Japanese army will suffer more than 500 casualties!
