(There is not much information online about the Battle of Beijing in the 14th Army of Wei Lihuang reinforced Nankou, and there are different opinions on the time point and the number of Japanese blocking troops. The author had to set the time according to reasoning and try to match the facts as much as possible. This article is just a novel rather than a history. The author wrote it out, and read it out, haha!)

The one who met the Japanese scouts was the search team of the 2nd Battalion of the 57th Regiment.

In order to hurry, the 10th Division basically crossed mountains and ridges and walked small roads. The Japanese army was surrounded by Beiping, and the 14th Army is now entering the deeper. In addition to the 13th Army, which is the 14th Army, which is the 13th Army, which is in the 14th Army, which is the 2nd Army of Liu Zhi, the Central Army stationed in Baoding a hundred miles away, the 53rd Army of Wan Fulin, the Northeast Army of Baoding, and the 20th Army of Shang Zhen, the Jinsui Army.

Although both of the Central Army and were the direct descendants of the chairman, Wei Lihuang was not from Huangpu. He had the greatest military achievements among the Five Tiger Generals of the National Army, but he was the least trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. Liu Zhi is currently under the command of Wei Lihuang, but without Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, Wei Lihuang would not have been able to mobilize Liu Zhi's soldiers and soldiers.

Wei Lihuang and Li Mo'an disagreed with Liu Zhi's character and the strength of the team he led. If Wei Lihuang was really besieged by the Japanese army, even if Liu Zhi tried his best to reinforce, it would be a question whether his troops could be taken over by then. As an ever-winning general, Wei Lihuang knew the importance of flanks and defenders, and sent many reconnaissance troops around during the march.

The Japanese army was a reconnaissance team following the road, and the road was the focus of Wei Lihuang's special attention. The war reports from the front line were that the Japanese army had cannons, tanks, armored vehicles. These heavy equipment and ammunition supplements were impossible to leave the road. If the Japanese army acted, they had to advance from the road.

The main force of the 10th Division was still on the other side of the mountain. Since they were walking straight roads, they had to cross the main road next. Today, the 57th Regiment was the vanguard of the entire division. Just as the search platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 57th Regiment was about to go down the mountain to reconnaissance on the main road, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers suddenly came over the main road.

After discovering that the 14th Army of Wei Lihuang reinforced Nankou, the commander of the North China garrison, the Qingshi of the Japanese North China garrison, sent the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division to form the Niudao Detachment and entered the mountainous areas west of Mentougou to block the attack; ordered the 20th Division to enter the mountainous areas northwest of Liangxiang and attack the 26th Chinese Army guarding the Han Line and its west side.

The Japanese search unit that met the 10th Division belonged to the 23rd Regiment of Okamoto Shinchen of the Niujima Detachment. Their mission was to enter the mountainous land west of Mentougou to block the 14th Army.

The Japanese scout unit had a total of fifteen people, a squad led by a squad and two grenades. At this time, the Japanese squad used the maximum firepower of a crooked light machine gun. In order to increase the firepower, the Japanese army also equipped the search unit with a grenade launcher team, carrying a type 89 grenade launcher and ammunition to follow the team.

The mountain was covered with trees, and the search team of the Second Battalion crossed the ridge. The search team was led by a veteran squad leader. When the Japanese army appeared, they had not yet walked out of the woods.

The veteran squad leader was very experienced, so he immediately ordered: "Secret!" The soldiers of the search team immediately looked for grass and hid their bodies.

This was just a Japanese scout unit. Its appearance indicated that the Japanese army's large unit was not far away. The squad leader calmed down and quietly ordered the squad to go back and report immediately with a new recruit, and the others continued to monitor the enemy in secret.

Ban Fu is also a veteran. His movements are light and flexible, and he moves very quickly. He walks back dozens of meters in a moment. But the new recruits following him saw the legendary Japanese soldiers for the first time. Moreover, the Japanese army is only more than 100 meters away from them, and even his eyes and noses can be seen clearly. He is very nervous and his movements are a little deformed.

It had just rained in the morning and the ground was very slippery. The soldiers walked faster and faster. They accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the side. There was a small tree beside him. He hugged the small tree and stabilized his body and did not roll down the hillside. The small tree shook, and the water droplets stored on the leaves fell down, and the small tree made a "rattle" sound.

The Japanese army's "Infantry Practice" clearly stipulates that searches are also required on the ridges, but it has been raining these days and planes cannot be reconnaissed in the sky. When this Japanese scout unit set off, the intelligence given to them by superiors showed that the 14th Army was an elite unit of the national army. The sergeant led the team thought that this army, like other elite troops of the national army, had to march from the main road. In addition, the Japanese army were wearing bulky hard-soled leather shoes, and it was inconvenient to climb the mountain, so the sergeant was lazy and did not send anyone to search along the ridge.

A small tree shaking violently on the hillside. Although there was no sign of people, there must be someone on the mountain. All the Japanese army became alert all of a sudden. The sergeant did not give an order. A "screw" sounded, which was the Japanese army subconsciously pulling the bolt to push the bullets onto the bullets.

The Japanese army had encountered such a situation more than once along the way. At first, they went up the mountain to pursue, but later they were repeatedly proved to be avoiding the Japanese people, so they were not particularly surprised this time. The Japanese soldiers did not even arrange their combat formations, nor did they look for hidden objects, and even light machine guns were not lowered. Pulling the gun bolt was just a prescribed action of basic tactics.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, it was a normal move. In the minds of the new recruits, the other party was about to shoot immediately. Just then, a Japanese army with a little more Mandarin shouted to the mountain: "Come out! My see you! If yours doesn't come out again, I'll shoot to death!"

When the two armies faced each other, both sides held weapons to kill the enemy, and the soldiers were both on the front line of life and death. If the Japanese army really saw the national army, how could they shout first without firing?

But the panicked recruit really thought the Japanese army had discovered him. He picked up his rifle and turned around and pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound, "Bang"! The gunshots, but even he himself can't figure out where the bullets fly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sergeant shouted, the Japanese soldiers were well-trained, and they flashed their bodies, and each found a hidden point, pointing all the rifles in their hands towards the hillside. The Japanese army's crooked handles were quickly set up, and the ammunition hand immediately added bullets to the ammunition hand; the grenade can also be mounted, and the ammunition hand holds the grenade, and can be loaded and fired at any time.

When the squad leader heard the violent shaking of the little tree, he knew that things were bad. The Japanese army was ready for battle. If they didn't fight at this time, the enemy would come.

The first move is the best, and then the move is the disaster! The squad leader gave an order: "Let's fire!" After saying that, he pulled the trigger, "bang", and the gun in his hand also fired.

The soldiers fired one after another, and the gunshots burst out for a moment.

The Japanese army's tactical qualities were obviously much higher than those of the national army, and their psychological qualities were much higher than those of the national army. Although they were all in relatively open areas, it was reasonable for them to choose hidden objects and their tactical actions were standardized. After a burst of gunfire by the National Army on the mountain, the Japanese army was completely unscathed.

The gunshot also exposed the hiding position of the Kuomintang army. The sergeant led the team pulled out the command knife and pointed at the hiding place of the Kuomintang army: "Kill and give it to me!"

"Dadada...", "Eight Hooks, Eight Hooks", the Japanese light machine guns and the 38th hood began to fight back.

The national army hid in the woods or behind the grass, shooting from a high place. The Japanese army did not see the figures of the national army, but only shot upwards on the mountain. Such shooting was blind and had no exact effect except scaring people. The national army search team on the mountain counterattacked more violently. Although most of the soldiers were shooting randomly in panic, their shooting speed became faster and faster and the gunfire became more and more violent.

The national army on the mountain only fired guns but did not go down the mountain. The Japanese army at the foot of the mountain did not dare to charge in the open area. For a moment, the search troops of the two armies fired at each other from the air, and became stalemate.
