"Revenge for the Second Young Master!"

The Nanjing Army, whose morale was so high that it had no fear of the Japanese army and was full of hatred, rushed towards the Japanese army like a magma mudslide. In the early days of the war, the record was brilliant.

The Nanjing Army stationed in Shanxi regained Suiyuan Province within four days, severely damaged and repelled the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, and then marched towards Chahar Province. , within two days, broke the defense line of the 77th Division of the Japanese Army in the southeast of Hebei, wiped out more than 15 enemies, captured Hengshui, and then marched southward, unstoppably flying towards Nangong, Julu, Xingtai and other places in southern Hebei. Continuously broke through the defense lines of the 11th and 13th Divisions of the Japanese Army in southern Hebei, and blocked the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, which is the most southerly, in the Handan area. The attacking Jiang Dingwen and Tang Enbo's troops formed a four-sided encirclement of the Japanese 74th Division in Handan.

Tokyo was shocked, and Wuhan was also greatly surprised. It was hard to believe that the progress of the Nanjing Army would be so fast.

In fact, it is not abnormal for the Japanese army to be so "vulnerable", because the 77th Division's attack can be described as vigorous and resolute. It was originally owned by the Nanjing Army and captured Japanese tanks), gathered into a powerful mechanized assault group force, coordinated with the aircraft group gun group, all infantry in cars, the offensive can be called thunder and lightning.

After the war started, the Nanjing Army first bombarded the Japanese positions indiscriminately with aircraft fleets and artillery groups. Then, the tanks swarmed and attacked, smashing the Japanese positions to pieces. .

Of course, the Nanjing Army does not have as much capital as the German Army, and cannot fight large-scale blitzkriegs, but it still has the capital to fight small and medium-sized blitzkriegs occasionally, and it also has the ability and experience in this regard.

The Japanese army, which did not have absolute air supremacy and low anti-tank capabilities, was naturally helpless in the face of the Nanjing Army's wolf-like tanks, and the defense line was completely torn by the Nanjing Army.

The Nanjing army is strong, but the Japanese army is not weak either, and both sides have their own advantages.

To put it bluntly, the Nanjing Army is like the "assassin" profession in later online games, with a very high explosive power in an instant, and the Japanese army is like the "warrior" profession in later online games, with high defense and thick blood.

Assassins would surely succeed if they suddenly attacked the warriors, but if the two sides fought head-to-head, the assassins would definitely not be as good as the warriors.

This is the case with the Nanjing Army and the Japanese Army. If they fight for two or three months, the Nanjing Army will have insufficient stamina, but if they start fighting suddenly, the Nanjing Army will have a great advantage and the upper hand in the early stage of the war.

"Not good! The Nanjing Army is trying to wipe out the 12th Division!" The Tokyo executives were shocked.

Tokyo's high-level officials are very clear that the 101st Division and the 16th Division were wiped out by the Chinese army successively and disgraced the Japanese Imperial Army. If this happened a third time, the consequences would be unimaginable. The most troublesome thing is that right now , Germany, China and Japan are still holding tripartite talks (although the tripartite talks on Jeju Island have ended, Germany is still working hard to continue the political mediation and diplomatic mediation between the Chinese and Japanese governments, and plans to hold the second "tripartite talks"), and China and Japan are in a delicate state of talking while fighting. At this time, if the Japanese army suffers another major defeat on the battlefield and wipes out a division, the military loss will already be very huge. Politically and diplomatically It will make the Japanese government suffer a very major blow.

"The 12th Division must not be completely wiped out!" "Rescue the 12th Division at all costs!" The red-eyed Tokyo high-level hurriedly issued extremely strict orders to the Japanese army in North China.

Under his supervision, the 11th, 13th, and 15th divisions of the Japanese army in Hebei went to rescue the 12th division, unable to reinforce the Suizha battlefield. Even the two divisions that were coming from the northeast for reinforcements also received "ambiguous orders", whether to go to Suicha or to southern Hebei.

On the one hand, Suicha was in a tight spot. On the other hand, the 12th Division was in a tight siege in southern Hebei. On the one hand, it was "lost ground" and on the other hand, it was "lost division". The generals in the temple were caught in extremely difficult indecision.

Recovering one or two or even two or three provinces by the Chinese army was a great blow to the Japanese army, but being wiped out of a division by the Chinese army was still a great blow to the Japanese army, which made the generals in the temple in a dilemma.

Fu Zuoyi, Wei Lihuang, Zhang Fakui, and Yu Xuezhong were all experienced commanders or military strategists. When the Nanjing Army was resting, they had already seriously and actively planned "Once China and Japan fight again, how to deal with it?" As many as a dozen combat plans have been formulated and constantly revised, supplemented, and improved. The current combat strategy of the Nanjing Army is only one of them.

According to the plan of Fu Zuoyi and other generals, encircling and gathering the 12th Division is just a smoke bomb, a "striking from the east to attack the west", and it is very difficult to wipe out a division of the Japanese army. Therefore, the Nanjing Army will give up this very tempting attempt according to local conditions.

Right now, the Nanjing Army has successfully surrounded the 12th Division in the Handan area of ​​southern Hebei by relying on a small and medium-sized blitzkrieg. Turning from offense to defense, thus saving a large amount of military power, which can be used in a broader combat strategy: to contain a large number of Japanese troops.

The Japanese cannot accept that the 12th Division will follow in the footsteps of the 16th Division, so they will desperately rescue the 12th Division. What the Nanjing Army wants is this effect, to contain a large number of Japanese troops, so that the Nanjing Army stationed in Shanxi can fight smoothly Shun the water.

Although the war is full of uncertain factors, the war itself is a precise science, which can be simulated by numbers, and a very clear account can be calculated: the 12th Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded by the Nanjing Army and the Henan Central Army, and the 12th Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded by the Nanjing Army and the Henan Central Army. The 2.7th Division has more than 12 soldiers (the 12th Division was stationed in southern Hebei before the start of the war. This is a "very dangerous" place that is destined to bear the brunt of the Sino-Japanese war again, so the supplement of this division is given priority , so that the division is currently fully staffed), in order to gather and annihilate the 8th Division, the Nanjing Army (mainly the Nanjing Army, including the Henan Central Army) must invest at least three times its strength, that is, more than 12 troops, In addition, other units of the Japanese army will try their best to rescue the division. If three divisions and more than 12 Japanese troops come, the Nanjing Army will conduct defensive operations to resist these three divisions and more than 20 Japanese troops. Investing [-] times as many troops as the Japanese army, that is, [-] troops, then, adding up, in order to eat the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, the Nanjing Army needs to invest more than [-] troops (part of the troops are borne by the Henan Central Army). Obviously However, the cost that the Nanjing Army needs to invest is too great, and most of the troops that the Nanjing Army can devote to this battle will be trapped in the southern Hebei battlefield, which in turn will cause the Nanjing Army to have no surplus troops for other battlefields.

Fu Zuoyi and other generals decided to "encircle but not fight" the 12th Division, and the situation of the Nanjing Army suddenly improved a lot. First, the 12th Division had more than 2.7 Japanese troops. It is a defensive war, blocking the 12th Division in Handan, and then turning from offense to defense, and defending on the spot. It is basically enough to invest 4 troops in the battle. The besieged 12th Division must be afraid of being wiped out, and will try its best To break out of the siege is to attack, and to encircle is to defend. The Nanjing Army needs [-] troops to resist a division of the Japanese army in a defensive battle. The use of [-] to [-] troops is naturally very large, allowing the Nanjing Army to save a mobile force that is not weak, and can do more in this battle.

The Japanese were extremely afraid and extremely unwilling to be wiped out of another division. This mentality was just exploited by the Nanjing Army.

On the battlefield in southern Hebei, the two sides launched a vigorous battle, but the real main force of the Nanjing Army is still the troops stationed in Jin, and the place where the Nanjing Army really wants to obtain the results is the two provinces of Suicha.

On the Suicha battlefield, after the 17th, 88th and 99th Divisions of the Nanjing Army defeated the 5th Division of the Japanese Army and regained Suiyuan Province, they pushed eastward with wind and thunder rolling all the way, on December 12. On the 22st, it entered the territory of Chahar Province. After several fierce battles, it successively captured Xinghe, Shangyi, and Huai'an, and officially marched to the city of Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou), the capital of Chahar Province, on Christmas Day for Westerners.

A big battle is destined to break out in Zhang Yuan.

Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou) is not only the provincial capital of Chahar Province, but also the "capital" of the puppet regime "Inner Mongolia United Autonomous Government".

The so-called "United Autonomous Government of Inner Mongolia" and "Manchukuo" are the same thing, and both are puppet regimes established by the Japanese.

After the September [-]th Incident, the Japanese occupied the four northeastern provinces almost without bloodshed (the two provinces of Liaoning and Jilin fell first, Heilongjiang fell after the resistance of Ma Zhanshan and other patriotic generals, Rehe fell last, and the local emperor of Rehe Tang Yulin feared the enemy like a tiger and fled without a fight, which led to the easy fall of Rehe Province) and established the Puppet Manchukuo. In the next few years, the Japanese, who had long hoped for Shu and could not fill their desires, continued to infiltrate all parts of North China, gradually controlling the Harbin and Suiyuan provinces followed suit, splitting China's territory, inciting Mongolians to defect to Japan and break away from China, to support a puppet regime, and to establish a "Mongolia" or "Great Yuan Republic". Since Outer Mongolia was controlled by the Soviet Union, the Japanese I dare not get involved easily, so I mainly extend my claws to Inner Mongolia (the Inner Mongolia region at this time is different from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in later generations. The "Inner Mongolia region" at this time is mainly Suiyuan and Chahar provinces. However, at this time Most of Ningxia Province, the whole of Suiyuan Province, most of Chahar Province, more than half of Rehe Province, part of Liaoning Province and part of Heilongjiang Province belong to the "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" in later generations).

The Japanese first established a "Southern Chahar Autonomous Government" in the southern part of Chahar Province. As the Japanese controlled most of the Sui-Chahar Province, they expanded on the basis of the puppet regime of the "Southern Chahar Autonomous Government". The "Mongol-Xinjiang United Self-Government" wantonly lured, threatened, and wooed Mongolian princes and princes, and even formed a puppet Mongolian army.

At the beginning, the "Mengjiang United Self-Government" was mainly entrenched in Chahar Province. Later, with the support and instigation of the Japanese, they continued to invade and occupy Chahar Province. Therefore, the famous "Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War" broke out. The Sui Army (part of the Central Army also participated in the war) and the Puppet Mongolian Army (the Japanese army only provided military advisers and provided weapons and equipment to the Puppet Mongolian Army, and did not send regular troops to participate in the war). After the war, Chahar Province was basically under the control of the "Mengjiang Joint Self-Government", while Suiyuan Province was in the tug-of-war between the two sides.

After the Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice, in order to recover Shanxi Province, Suiyuan Province was acquiesced by the Nationalist Government to the Japanese, making the "Mengjiang Joint Autonomous Government" officially own the "territory" of the two provinces, but because of the Chinese protest , coupled with the fact that the Japanese suffered heavy losses in the Sino-Japanese War and were severely injured, they became more and more jealous of the Soviets, so the word "Xinjiang" in the "Mengjiang Joint Self-Government" was removed ("Jiang" refers to Xinjiang, and Xinjiang is the sphere of influence of the Soviets), and changed the word "Mongolian" to "Inner Mongolia" (Outer Mongolia is the sphere of influence of the Soviets, and the Japanese changed their name to imply to the Soviets that the Japanese had no intention of outer Mongolia), thus The "Mengjiang United Autonomous Government" was reorganized into the "Inner Mongolia United Self-Government".

Therefore, in the two provinces of Suicha, the enemy of the Nanjing Army is not only the Japanese army, but also the puppet Mongolian army.

During the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War, the puppet Mongolian army was severely injured by the Jinsui army, and there were many surrenders and uprisings during the war, which caused the Japanese to greatly reduce their trust in the puppet army (although the "Mengjiang United Self-Government" Claiming to be a Mongolian ethnic autonomous regime, in fact 80% of the population in its "territory" is Han. The Han officers and soldiers in the puppet army are naturally unwilling to work for the Mongolian puppet regime controlled by the Japanese.

The puppet army in the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War mainly consisted of two groups, one was the puppet Mongolian army, and the other was the "Great Han Rebel Army". Most of the members of the former were Mongolians, while the latter were all Han. "The Han people understand righteousness and fight for the independence of the Mongols." In fact, the members of the "Great Han Rebel Army" are basically bandits in North China), and the puppet army's combat effectiveness is low and their fighting spirit is weak, so the Japanese negotiated peace between China and Japan. After the armistice, the puppet Mongolian army was rectified, and the method of "mixing Han and Mongolian" was adopted.

Originally, the Puppet Mongolian Army consisted of 2 armies, with 9 divisions under its jurisdiction (the total strength is actually only more than 1), and another 6000 people from the "Great Han Rebel Army" assisted in the battle (the "Great Han Rebel Army" was basically wiped out in the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War) At present, the puppet Mongolian army rebuilt by the Japanese has a total of 10 divisions, including 3 cavalry divisions and 7 infantry divisions. Each division has about 1500 to 2500 troops, and the total strength is about [-].

After the Nanjing Army launched a powerful offensive against Suiyuan, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was severely damaged and repelled, and the 5 divisions of the Puppet Mongolian Army that were fighting in coordination were also defeated, some surrendered and some fled.

At that time, the Nanjing army mainly concentrated its forces on dealing with the Japanese army, so they did not pursue the puppet Mongolian army very much. The more than 2000 puppet Mongolian army in Suiyuan territory were killed and injured hundreds of people, 8000 surrendered, and [-] fled. Among the Puppet Mongolian Army, half fled back to their hometowns or became bandits, and the other half fled to Chahar Province.

For the "United Autonomous Government of Inner Mongolia", Chahar Province is more important than Suiyuan Province, because Chahar Province was controlled earlier than Suiyuan Province, and its rule over the local area is relatively more solid. In addition, Chahar Province To the east is Rehe, which is occupied by Japan, to the south is Hebei, which is occupied by Japan, to the west is Suiyuan, which is occupied by Japan, and to the north is Outer Mongolia, which is occupied by Soviet Union. It is not directly bordered by the Chinese army's control area, and the south and west of Suiyuan are the control areas of the Chinese army. , so Chahar is "safer" than Suiyuan, so the nest of the "Inner Mongolia United Autonomous Government" has always been placed in Zhangyuan in Chahar, and the puppet Mongolian army in Chahar is also "safer" than the puppet Mongolian army in Suiyuan. The quality should be higher.” Two of the three cavalry divisions are in Chahar, and although only three of the seven infantry divisions are in Chahar, they are all the main divisions of the puppet Mongolian army.

Facing the massacre of the Nanjing Army, the heads of the pseudo-Mongolian regime headed by the chairman of the "Inner Mongolia United Self-Government", Prince Demchukdongrup (that is, King De), panicked and desperately complained to the "Inner Mongolia United Self-Government". Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the master of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Chahar Province, the Tudi Emperor of Chahar Province, asked for help.

Lieutenant General Doihara was also surprised by the powerful and swift offensive of the Nanjing Army. He hurriedly did three things. The Mongolian Army assisted the 14th Division in combat, and the third was to urgently ask for help from their superiors.

The defeat of the 5th Division made Lieutenant General Doihara dare not take it lightly. He gave up his plan to go out of the city to face the battle. Instead, he fully contracted his troops and prepared to fight a city defense battle in Zhangyuan with the purpose of delaying time and consuming the strength of the Nanjing Army. .

The provincial capital of Chahar Province is Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou City) at this time, and it used to be Wanquan (Wanquan was a county in the Republic of China, but it was merged into Zhangjiakou City and renamed Wanquan District in later generations).

Wanquan got its name in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. It was called "Wanquan" because of "the terrain is important, there are many troops, and it is well-prepared and foolproof." Although the scale is small and the population is only seven to eighty thousand, it is indeed a difficult city to attack. fortified town.

The Nanjing army stationed in Jin lacked heavy artillery, so it was very difficult to fight a siege battle, and the purpose of the Nanjing army's battle was "quick battle and quick decision" and could not be delayed.

How to break Zhang Yuan?Chen Mingren came up with a clever plan.

Since the 17th Division entered the Suicha battle, it has been called the vanguard. It first fought Fengzhen, then Liangcheng, and then took Guisui, Baotou, and Ulanqab lightly. The whole division relied on cars, bicycles, and perseverance. In just ten days, they traveled more than 400 kilometers in one breath, killing, injuring, and capturing more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops.

Entering the territory of Chahar, the 17th Division was still the pioneer. With the assistance of the 88th and 99th Divisions of the friendly army, it successively captured the three counties of Xinghe, Shangyi, and Huaian, and chased the defeated 5th Division all the way. And defeated the two divisions of the puppet Mongolian army.

Since the puppet Mongolian army had no fighting spirit, the descendants were everywhere.

In Shangyi County, the 17th Division easily defeated the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army who came to fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Puppet Mongolian Army quickly fled.

Zhang Yun, the deputy brigade commander of the 17st Brigade of the 171th Division, called his friend and close deputy Wu Junyi: "Damn it! These two devils! If you hit them, they run away, and after they run away, they turn around and bite. How annoying! You immediately bring someone to intercept them Those bastards who forgot who their ancestors are!"

Wu Junyi accepted the order solemnly: "Understood!"

Zhang Yun asked Wu Junyi: "How many people do you want? I'll give you one thousand, is it enough?"

Wu Junyi laughed: "One thousand? My deputy, do you think highly of those second devils or me? 500 people and [-] cars are enough!"

Zhang Yun patted Wu Junyi's shoulder with a smile: "You are kind! You are indeed my good brother!"

Wu Junyi took half an infantry battalion and chased the puppet Mongolian army in a car at lightning speed and started to intercept them. The 7 Nanjing troops chased and killed the [-]th division of the puppet Mongolian army with more than [-] troops without fear or even impatiently.

After a head-on blow, the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, which was beaten by the Nanjing Army, had to stop fleeing and surrendered collectively under the leadership of the division commander Lei Zhongtian.

The officers and soldiers all hated this kind of traitor who recognized the thief as his father and worked for the tiger. Whether it was a traitor or a traitor, they were all traitors who betrayed the Chinese nation. The 88th Division who rushed over captured more than 2000 puppet troops at once. Since the 17th Division was going to continue to advance rapidly, these puppet troops were naturally a burden.

How to deal with these puppet troops, Zhang Yun and other officers felt that it would be too cheap to let them go, and they might become puppet troops again, so it would be easiest to kill them all.

Just when Zhang Yun and other officers were ready to collectively execute these puppet prisoners, Chen Mingren received the report, and he rushed to stop them: "Don't kill! I'm useful!" He then ordered Lei Zhongtian and other puppet soldiers to be arrested The leader came before him.

Seeing Chen Mingren, Lei Zhongtian and more than a dozen puppet army leaders begging for mercy together, some swore that "after abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, I will definitely make amends for my sins", some cried with snot and tears that they could not help being a puppet. Army, and even two puppet army leaders knelt down and kowtowed.

Chen Mingren was quite disgusted. He knew that these puppet army leaders were not good things. For example, Lei Zhongtian was once the deputy commander of the "Great Han Rebel Army", and he was an out-and-out traitor.

Chen Mingren also wanted to kill Lei Zhongtian and other puppet army leaders, but he still has a use for keeping these puppet army leaders temporarily.

"Listen to me!" Chen Mingren said in a stern tone, "You have forgotten your ancestors by counting the books, recognized your thieves as your fathers, and betrayed your country for glory. You deserve death! Logically, I can shoot you all right now! However, I can consider giving you one An opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds! As long as you grasp it well, the country will treat you leniently! At least you can save your lives!"

"We must pay the crime and do meritorious service! We must pay the crime and do meritorious service!" Lei Zhongtian and other puppet army leaders nodded hastily.

Chen Mingren's plan is as follows: the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army "changes troops without changing generals". The 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army has more than 2000 grassroots officers and soldiers, and all of them are replaced by Nanjing Army. In fact, there are more than 3000 Nanjing Army , all put on the uniforms of the pseudo-Mongolian army, picked up the weapons of the pseudo-Mongolian army (at the same time, there were a large number of light weapons and ammunition hidden in the transport convoy of the 7th Division of the pseudo-Mongolian army), thus pretending to be the pseudo-Mongolian army, but the pseudo-Mongolian army The senior officers of the 7th Division remained the same, Lei Zhongtian and others. In this way, Lei Zhongtian and other puppet army leaders would lead more than 3000 Nanjing troops disguised as puppet Mongolian troops to "withdraw" to Zhangyuan.

Of course, in order to prevent Lei Zhongtian and other puppet army leaders from rebelling again, they were all arranged by the Nanjing Army as "personal guards". If they made any changes, they would be killed immediately.

This plan is very bold and highly feasible. The only shortcoming is that the more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army disguised as pseudo-Mongolian soldiers are all taking great risks. They are basically death squads.

However, the Nanjing Army was originally an army that was not afraid of death.

As Chen Mingren expected, after Lei Zhongtian fled to Zhangyuan in embarrassment with the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army who had been "exchanged for the prince" by the Nanjing Army. The infantry division put Zhang Yuan in.

Three hours later, the Nanjing army approached the city, and the Battle of Zhangyuan broke out.

In the dark and dark battle, the Nanjing Army, with the 88th and 99th Divisions as the main force, violently attacked the city, while the 17th Division quietly crossed the Yinshan Mountains in the northwest of Zhangyuan, and suddenly appeared in Xuanhua behind Zhangyuan, causing Japanese The puppet army was in chaos, and people in the city were in turmoil.

The Nanjing army who was besieging the city used loudspeakers to shout to the puppet Mongolian army in the city, claiming that "those who surrender immediately can forget the past, and those who are stubborn will be killed after breaking the city", which caused the puppet Mongolian army to fall into great panic and panic.

At the critical moment, the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army of the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army launched a "central blossom" in the city, attacking the Japanese headquarters, ordnance supply bases, and grain warehouses, encouraging other puppet troops to turn against the water together, creating a huge blow to the Japanese army. Big loss and confusion.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, Zhang Yuan's Japanese defense line was shattered by the Nanjing Army, and a large number of Nanjing Army poured into the city and started street fighting with the Japanese Army.

Lieutenant General Doihara desperately asked for help from the general in the temple, but the general in the temple was afraid that the 12th Division would be wiped out in southern Hebei, so he transferred the 10th Division stationed in Pingjin to southern Hebei instead of Zhangyuan.

On December 12, Chen Mingren mobilized more than 27 militiamen from more than 20 counties in northern Shanxi to join the battle in Zhangyuan (Zhangyuan is located almost at the junction of the two provinces of Shanxi and Chahar, only [-] to [-] kilometers away from the border of Shanxi, and far from the important town of northern Shanxi. Datong is only [-] or [-] kilometers away), which greatly strengthened the strength of the Nanjing Army. At the same time, the heavy snow stopped and the north wind weakened. The Chinese Air Force's fighter jets and bombers repeatedly appeared in the sky above Zhang Yuan and launched violent bombing.

Since the two sides had started street fighting, the total strength of the Japanese army was about 14 (including the 5th Division and the 8th Division that fled from Suiyuan), and the total strength of the Nanjing Army reached more than 3 (deducting previous casualties). There were also more than [-] militiamen helping in the battle. Obviously, the number of Nanjing troops greatly exceeded that of the Japanese army, and the street fighting was basically one-to-one casualties, and the light weapons of the Nanjing army surpassed the Japanese army to a certain extent, so if the two sides continued to fight, the Nanjing army The Japanese army would suffer [-] casualties, and at the same time completely consume the Japanese army.

Because the generals in the temple did not send the 10th Division to reinforce, and Zhang Yuan's back road Xuanhua was cut off, Lieutenant General Doihara was deeply pessimistic. Worried that Zhang Yuan would be destroyed, he finally chose to abandon Zhang Yuan and break through to escape.

On December 12, Zhang Yuan's Japanese army concentrated its forces and attacked Xuanhua, tearing a gap in the defense line of the 31th Division of the Nanjing Army, and then fled Zhang Yuan to Pingjin.

The Nanjing Army regained Zhangyuan. Since Chahar Province is vast and sparsely populated with few cities, the recovery of Zhangyuan is basically equal to the recovery of Chahar Province.

The Nanjing army captured Zhangyuan, not only recovered Chahar Province, but also completely destroyed the puppet regime "Inner Mongolia United Autonomous Government". On the one hand, most of the heads of the puppet regime of the "United Autonomous Government of Inner Mongolia" were captured or surrendered by the Nanjing Army.

The heads of the puppet regime that fell into the hands of the Nanjing Army included the puppet government chairman De Wang (the former chairman was Yun Wang, Yun Wangchuk, who died of illness), the deputy commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army, Zhuot Bazabu, and the general staff of the puppet Mongolian army. Chang Wangying, Commander of the 1st Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army Mu Kedengbao, Commander of the 10th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army Zhang Longwu, Tao Ketao, Wu Heling, Wang Zongluo, Jier Galang, Yu Lanze, Jin Yongchang, Buying Dalai, Du Yunyu , Yu Pinqing, Xia Gong, Chen Shaowu, Zhuote Bazapu, Songjin Wangchuk (Pine King), Xiongnu Dundubu, Wuguting, Guiguiting, Wuyun Bilig (Zhao Chengbi)... Hundreds of senior officials.

(It is worth mentioning that, when the nation was in peril, although there were Mongolian scum such as King De, King Yun, and King Song who defected to the enemy, there were also Qi Junfeng, Qi Junfeng's husband Shi Wang, Shi Wang's friend Sha Wang, etc. The Mongolian princes and a large number of Mongolian patriotic youths are still unswervingly safeguarding the integrity and interests of the Chinese nation.

）

How to deal with these traitors, Chen Mingren sent a telegram to the Nanjing Army Headquarters to ask for instructions. Since Jiang Weiguo was "rescuing serious injuries", Xiao Yao was in charge.

Xiao Yao replied: "To cut grass, we must get rid of the root! To eradicate evil, we must do our best! All officials of the puppet regime and all the leaders and officers of the puppet army will be executed!"

Following Xiao Yao's order, the Nanjing army executed more than 700 traitors and traitors in one go in Zhangyuan. It deterred the pro-Japanese elements in the Inner Mongolia area, and greatly deterred the entire Inner Mongolia area and even the entire Mongolia area.

On January 1939, 1, the national government officially announced to the outside world that the national army had completely recovered Suiyuan and Chahar provinces.

In just half a month, the Nanjing Army recaptured the two provinces of Suicha, suffered more than 3 casualties, killed about 3.5 Japanese soldiers, and wiped out [-] puppet troops, destroying the Japanese support in Inner Mongolia. The puppet regime of the Communist Party of China has achieved brilliant results and impressive records.
