Time is always lost without interruption. When the Japanese army gathered heavily to the Yangtze River area of ​​China and prepared to launch a decisive battle with the regular army of the Kuomintang, the main force of the militia column far away in North China had already completed the assembly as soon as possible after the Spring Festival. At this time, they were preparing for the general offensive order issued by Deng. Because this marked that the militia column finally launched its first counterattack against the Japanese army from its initial defensive operations.

At the Northwest Military Sub-district Operations Command of the Militia Column, the star was shining at this time, and everyone's eyes were staring at Deng Chenggong, who was standing first. The commander who just got married at the end of last year now has a little beard and looks much more and more calm.

In addition to the commander Deng Chenggong, the generals of the militia column gathered here include General Feng Yixiang, Commander of the Northwest Military Sub-district, Lieutenant General Liu Guang, Chief of Staff, Major General Sun Feng, Deputy Commander of the Military Sub-district, Major General Liu Shuangquan, First Militia Division, Major General Chen Ming, Commander of the Armored Division of the Militia, Major General Du Zhongzhi, Commander of the Militia Artillery Division, Major General Situ Liang, Commander of the Militia Artillery Division. Not long after he recovered, he strongly requested to participate in the war. In addition, Major General Wu Zhongyuan, the commander of the Fifth Militia Division, who was specially formed to fight the next battle, can be regarded as concentrating most of the elite troops of the militia column.

Now these people are staring at a map of Chahar that has been hung on the wall of the combat command room. Deng Chenggong, as the commander, looked at the generals in the combat conference room and said in a deep voice: "We have been working hard for the battle we launched today in the past few months. Now the strategic reserves of the Northwest Military Sub-district are basically in place. In order to provide strong support to the Central Plains front, I decided to implement the Inner Mongolia recovery operation immediately.

What we want to win in the first battle is Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou), a strategic important town in Chahar. I hope that after the battle begins, King De and others in the city will not escape. I will use their heads to sacrifice the flag for the upcoming Inner Mongolia combat. Do you have the confidence to win him in one battle?"

King De, a prince of Inner Mongolia who advocates Inner Mongolia independence, this Inner Mongolia prince whose full name should be called "Prince Demuchuktonrup" was one of the traitors who had to be resolved to recapture Inner Mongolia this time. He wanted to use the heads of this Mongolian prince who had a certain reputation in both China and the Japanese army to sacrifice the flag and tell those traitors who dared to sell the interests of the country and the people, how miserable the outcome of selling the country and seeking glory would be.

When the Chinese people fought bloody battles for the war of resistance, the King of De actually relied on his reputation in Inner Mongolia and the support of some separatists of the Kwantung Army to set up a sign of the "Mongolian-English United Autonomous Government" in this place. It can be said that the Inner Mongolia people who are in dire straits can only continue to live helplessly under the dual oppression of their pseudo-government and the Japanese army. For this reason, this guy was the target of the flag sacrifice he chose for the first battle of Deng Chenggong.

As the generals seemed to be full of enthusiasm, Deng Chenggong turned his head and said, "Chief Liu. You can issue a combat order!"

With the combat plan agreed upon by Deng Chenggong and several senior executives at the headquarters, Liu Guang also seemed very excited: "The order, starting from the immediate order, the first and second squadrons of the Flying Eagle Special Forces Brigade will be led by the captain Wu Zhongyuan to sneak into Zhangyuan City. After the battle begins, he will strive to capture or annihilate all the pseudo-Mongolian officials such as King De and carry out special operations in the inner city."

After saying that, he handed a document of order to Wu Zhongyuan, and he could enter Zhangjiakou as the first unit in the first battle for beheading the inner city. It undoubtedly proved that the Flying Eagle Brigade was the vanguard of the militia column at any time. This made Wu Zhongyuan, who had just taken over as the captain of the Flying Eagle Brigade and promoted his rank to major general, urgently needed this battle to prove that he was able to lead the Flying Eagle to continue his past glory.

After issuing the order of the Flying Eagle Special Operations Brigade, Liu Guang continued: "The order, the First Militia Division and the Fifth Militia Division will join hands with the grassroots main forces of the Northwest Military Sub-district to implement the siege of Zhangjiakou. All the railways leading to Zhangjiakou will be destroyed. The subordinate militia brigades and militia regiments will enter the corresponding strategic road to block. Each grassroots militia unit must delay the Japanese reinforcements for 48 hours, and wait until your two divisions completely take down Zhangjiakou."

Infantry participation is naturally indispensable for siege wars, and these two infantry divisions will be the main force of this siege war. After placing the combat missions of the two infantry divisions, Liu Guang continued: "The order, the First Cavalry Division, the Armored Division will start from the order. Go to Wanquan to set up an ambush to fight in the future, and strive for the future assistance of the Mongolian Cavalry Division and the Japanese Infantry Mixed Brigade to be wiped out by Wanquan's front line. Another artillery division rocket launcher regiment will draw the first battalion of the main force to cooperate in combat to attack the armored forces of the Japanese Infantry Mixed Brigade, and draw an air defense regiment for air defense."

As the Mongolian army supported by the Japanese, their cavalry troops were very powerful, reaching a scale of more than 100,000 people from nine divisions. In addition, the infantry division and a mixed instal vehicle brigade stationed by the Japanese Kwantung Army were also expanded. The total force also reached nearly 300,000. Of course, there were only two cavalry troops arranged near Zhangjiakou, plus the city troops in key areas of nearby counties, and this Japanese brigade was still elite.

With the ambush of the First Cavalry Division and the Armored Division alone, even if they win in the final battle, these two divisions are probably going to be damaged. For this reason, Deng Chenggong specially transferred a rocket launcher battalion equipped with armored incendiary bombs from the Artillery Division, as well as an air defense regiment to prevent Japanese air strikes against the Armored Division. As long as the first round of the rocket launcher orders the target, the armored division will take advantage of the victory and pursue the cavalry division again. I believe that these reinforcements arranged on the front line of the Mongolian army and the Japanese Kwantung Army will inevitably collapse.

After arranging the combat tasks of the Cavalry Division and the Armored Division, Liu Guang continued: "After the order, the Second Militia Xuanhua Division will cooperate with the main brigades of the Northwest Military Sub-district to capture all the Japanese troops stationed in the city near Zhangjiakou. According to the pre-war plan, after the county was recovered, the main militia troops were immediately stationed by the local militia to repair the city defense fortifications and prevent the Japanese bombing and attack. In this battle, the commander of the military sub-district was responsible for commanding the main brigades of the military sub-district. Commander Sun focused on attacking Xuanhua. When encountering difficulties in combat, he could ask the combat headquarters to coordinate at any time."

Seeing that everyone had arranged tasks one by one, only his artillery division seemed to have no tasks, the artillery division commander Situ Liang seemed so anxious. Just as he was anxious, Liu Guang continued: "Order. The artillery division began to enter the preset position of Zhangjiakou artillery from the order issuance. After the First Infantry Division and the Fifth Infantry Division were completely surrounded, the artillery fire coverage should be carried out in accordance with the targets in Zhangjiakou city provided by the Feiying Special Operations Brigade, and air defense forces were arranged to prevent the support of Japanese aircraft."

When all the division-level chief officers who arrived at the scene received the order, Deng Chenggong stood up and said, "This battle is related to whether the Inner Mongolia combat plan can be won in one battle. You must know that we will take Zhangjiakou one day earlier, which means more time to prepare. Once the battle here begins, the entire North China and even Inner Mongolia will fall into chaos because of Zhangjiakou.

The Jin Provincial Military Sub-district and the Northeast Military Sub-district of the column are waiting for news of our victory. As long as we take Zhangjiakou here, once the Japanese dare to draw reinforcements from Suiyuan and Rehe, it means that our first combat plan will be successful. The pressure here may be the greatest. But what we really need to fight is still the main force of the Kwantung Army who is desperate to jump to the wall and head south.

For this reason, in my plan, I will give you half a month to recover Chahar. After half a month, I will lead the First Militia Division, Armored Division, and Artillery Division into Rehe and cooperate with the Northeast Military Sub-district to fight. Therefore, whether your battles are good or not is fast or not. It completely determines the success or failure of our recovery of Inner Mongolia this time.

After waiting for so long, it is time for the Japanese to see how powerful our North China militia column is. I don’t want to say much about the wartime discipline. You are all old soldiers. I should understand that I will only tell you one thing. I hope everyone will come back here in half a month. I invite you to have a celebration wine. The meeting will be over!"

As Deng Chenggong said the meeting, several radio waves emitted by the General Command were quickly transmitted to the militia regiments and militia brigades in the Northwest Military Sub-district. The grassroots militia troops, who were also ready to go, began to enter the traffic artery of the defense zone under the command of their respective regiment brigade commanders.

The first battle started was the Japanese passing along the railway line of Zhangjiakou, and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway connecting Zhangjiakou and the railway connecting Suiyuan and Rehe were all stripped away seven or eight kilometers at the same time by the reserve militia troops of the Northwest Military Sub-district of the Militia Column at the same time.

There were even some smarter reserve militia troops. When they saw the Japanese in a hurry and got angry, they did not break the railway, but buried the bombs in the railway tracks. As the Japanese army and trucks passed by, the cars were destroyed and people were killed and suffered heavy losses. The reserve militia who had been waiting for a long time also ran over to harvest their heads and the supplies on the train without hesitation.

When they learned that the railway near Zhangjiakou was crazyly destroyed by militia columns, the Japanese Kwantung Army immediately ordered the Mongolian army to annihilate these militia troops that destroyed their transportation lines. However, before their telegrams were sent, the key areas of the surrounding counties such as Xuanhua City, Chongli City, Chicheng, Guyuan, etc. near Shijiazhuang were all fiercely attacked by local militia troops. Telegrams asking for help were filled with tables of senior officials of the pseudo-government, such as De Wang of the Mongolian Autonomous Government.

As the general adviser Kaneiba, who was sent here by the Japanese Kwantung Army, was in the combat conference room in Shijiazhuang. Thunder angrily criticized the inaction of the senior officials of the puppet army, such a huge loss, the strategic transportation line entering and leaving Inner Mongolia. These puppet troops were asked to immediately order the Mongolian cavalry troops to go to various places to carry out support operations. Try to annihilate these usually honest militia reserve troops.

The counties outside Shijiazhuang were attacked. Not to mention the support of these troops stationed in the city, they were afraid that they would be unable to protect themselves at this time. The only ones that could be drawn were the first and second Mongolian cavalry divisions in all directions, as well as the powerful Japanese infringe brigade.
