Chapter 196: Attack, the glorious 11th Division!

On April 22, 22, the Republic of China, Zheng Yong, the Major General of the 11th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, issued a telegram across the country.

During the telephone call, the young major general commander strongly accused the powerful Northeast Army of Commander Zhang Xueliang of his unparalleled defeats since the 19th year of the Republic of China.

The defeat in the Northeast, the defeat in Yuguan, the defeat in Rehe... and even the island army captured Chengde with only 120 people. The loss of troops and land broke our mountains and rivers and the people's hearts were withered.

Finally, the telegram asked Zhang Xueliang, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, to resign immediately to step down to thank the people in the name of all the veterans who had died in the Fengtian War of Resistance...

As soon as the power was launched, the whole country was shocked! But more of it resonated with the people.

Rehe's loss caused an uproar across the country, the National Government was seriously condemned, and Zhang Xueliang was even more attacked.

At this time, Zheng Yong's power outage undoubtedly quickly shifted the public's calls from the National Government to Zhang Xueliang, and the call for Zhang Xueliang to step down was resounding throughout the country.

On the 29th, under unprecedented pressure and accusations from China, Zhang Xueliang issued an electricity to step down and went abroad for recuperation.

But neither Zheng Yong nor the Chairman had any expectations at this time that Zheng Yong's power-up once again pushed him and his 11th Division to the forefront...

Afterwards, the island army continued to attack Xifengkou.

Song Zheyuan's 29th Army fought fiercely with the island army at Xifengkou under disadvantage.

The island army bombarded the Xifengkou position with heavy artillery. The Chinese soldiers did not have hidden positions, and the slopes were full of hard rocks. It was difficult to even dig a single bunker. They could only lie on the ground and wait for the cannon. After one day, a regiment of troops was sacrificed under the enemy's artillery fire.

After the bombardment, the island army slowly moved up along the gentle slope. Due to the mountain fighting, it was inconvenient for Chinese soldiers to carry guns. Many soldiers threw away Mauser rifles, brought more grenades, and carried large knives. When the enemy infantry rushed to the front of the position more than a hundred meters and threw a series of grenades, they rushed out of the position while the smoke of gunpowder had not dissipated, and fought stalemate with the enemy soldiers, making the enemy planes and cannons unable to use.

At this time, the sound of killing on the edge of the Great Wall shook the sky, and the warblers were tug and warped back and forth, and several high grounds were lost and gained again, and lost again. After the enemy troops retreated, they bombarded with heavy artillery planes.

Liu Zizhen, deputy commander of the 37th Division, and others arrived at the frontier position of Xifengkou to inspect the terrain and prepared to take action before dark.

The troops entered the position, and Wanfulin's troops retreated to the mouth to rest. At this time, there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in the mouth and outside the mouth.

Deputy Commander Liu had just gone down the mountain, and the cannons were heard in front of him. From the telescope, he saw thousands of troops retreating from the front. He responded to the report that the enemy's joint infantry and cavalry cannon troops followed the southwards. Wan Fulin's troops collapsed at the touch and fled in the wind.

After two days of bloody battle, the 29th Army lost two regiments of troops.

That night, Zhao Dengyu, the commander of the 109th Brigade of the 37th Division of the 29th Army, attacked Panjiakou and other places at night. He killed one enemy, Colonel-level commander. He seized several cannons, several tanks, and piled up supplies and food. Later, he could not carry them, so he had to burn them to death.

The Chinese army also suffered heavy casualties. The officers and commanders were killed in battle Hu Chonglu, deputy planning regiment, and battalion commanders Su Dongyuan.

Then the 29th Army attacked again at night, slashing hundreds of island troops, regaining more than ten machine guns, and burning more than ten island troops to receive help.

The 29th Army had extremely poor equipment, weak firepower, no guns, and lack of bullets. Each person had one big knife and six grenades, but it was with such equipment that he stood firmly at the mouth of Xifeng.

The impregnable defense in Xifengkou made the island army discouraged and defeated. Seeing that the Thunder Pool was insurmountable, they turned the main attack direction to Luowenyu.

Although the Chinese defenders have done their best, relying on their advantages in firepower and the repeated bombing of aircraft and cannons, the island army is gaining advantages on the battlefield bit by bit...

"Where is the hero Fengtian! Where is the hero who fights against the enemy?

In the 19th year of the Republic of China, Zheng Yong defended Fengtian with his inferior troops, causing the Japanese pirates to throw away their armor and armor, and countless corpses were scattered under Fengtian City. Now the Japanese pirates are rampant in our country, where is Zheng Yong? Where is the 11th Division? If all the elite troops of the 11th Division and the troops are out of the Great Wall, the people of the island will be scared, and the Japanese pirates will be disappointed and restore the Chinese nation to our country..."

——Peking World Daily.

"This is the time for Zheng Yong and his 11th Division to stand up!

The Japanese invaders are invading step by step, and our territory is falling inch by inch. Now it is time for General Zheng Yong and his 11th Division to stand up and fight back!

The loyal iron-blooded general Zheng Yong, the brave and elite division 11, the country needs you, the people need you, on the Great Wall, the Japanese invaders' rampant cry, and in China, the shouts of 450 million people.

Attack, attack, the glorious 11th Division..."

——Shanghai Today’s Times.

There are such shouts everywhere, such requests everywhere.

The people will not consider the difficulties of sending troops from Nanjing to reinforcements, nor will they consider the difficulties they may encounter.

They only have one simplest and simplest idea.

As long as the elite 11th Division is dispatched, the rampant island army will be defeated!

The students held a parade and asked the 11th Division to attack;

Celebrities jointly wrote a petition requesting the 11th Division to attack;

There were many articles in the overwhelming newspapers asking the 11th Division to attack...

At the gate of the barracks of the 11th Division, there are students who ignore the obstacles every day, and citizens cry and cry for bloody words to attack immediately!

Attack, attack, the glorious 11th Division!

"Impossible! It's simply nonsense!"

The chairman angrily smashed the newspaper on the table and said angrily: "Zheng Yong's teacher has not finished the training yet. How can he be taken to the front line to die at this time? Besides, how much difficulties will it be to mobilize the 11th Division from Nanjing? Have these people thought about it? It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"The pressure is too great."

He Yingqin, who is about to take office as a Beijing branch, said in embarrassment.

"Student parade, citizens strike, celebrities petition, I'm afraid this will continue..."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. This is a war, not a treat to dinner!" The chairman's face turned pale.

"Anyway, no matter what, the 11th Division cannot be used for the time being!"

He Yingqin smiled bitterly. The Chairman did have his own difficulties.

He was reluctant to take the German-style masters up and fight. During the Battle of 128, three German-style masters were pulled up and the islanders.

But the 11th Division just now looked a little bit and had not finished the training. It was really embarrassing to pull it up at this time.

However, the pressure and voices from the people outside have put the government in a great passive state. Once this pressure and voice completely erupts...

"Committee, I have a way to calm the public's voices and reduce the pressure on the government, and to prevent Zheng Yong and his 11th Division from being damaged."

He Yingqin said tentatively.

"Tell me," the chairman's attitude became a little calmer.

He Yingqin stepped forward and said with a small step.

"Transfer them to the cold gate line on the eastern line."

"Cold mouth shut?"

"Yes, Lengkou Pass is built on the steep Phoenix Mountain. Besides, we have heavy troops there. The islanders will not attack easily. They will transfer the 11th Division there and stay for a few days before they can get them back..."

"What if the islanders attacked, what should we do?" the chairman asked after pondering for a moment.

He Yingqin said with no time to think.

"Then my subordinates immediately ordered them to stop moving forward and stand by on standby, hoping that the Commission will give me this right."

The chairman did not answer him immediately, as if he was in deep thought.

The interior was quiet, so quiet that it seemed that even the heartbeat could be heard.

"This, just do what you said."

The chairman finally sighed and said helplessly.

"The solution is still good, but I'm afraid that Zheng Yong is too young and has a hot mind for a moment, and it will be troublesome at that time. There are also German consultants who have always strongly opposed pulling up German-style teachers who have not been trained."

"That's easy to deal with Zheng Yong. The commissioner can explain his meaning to him, and give him orders if necessary."

He Yingqin breathed a sigh of relief: "As for the German consultants, I actually explained the current domestic situation to them, and I think they can still understand it."

I was taking a risk and proposed this solution at a huge risk.

The commissioner took out all his treasures. If something happened, no one could bear this huge responsibility.

Thinking of this, He Yingqin suddenly felt a little regretful. He was afraid of things in the world...

"Title the flag to the 11th Division in advance, no, I want to give them the flag in person." The chairman's face looked a little unpredictable. He walked two steps back and forth and said.
