In January 1938, through the threading thread of the Han Dynasty, Li Fuhe and the Japanese army stationed in Mizuzhi reached an agreement: the Japanese army took care of their wives and concubines stranded in Peiping and returned their property in Peiping; Li Fuhe's troops left the ** to cooperate with the Japanese army, and Li Fuhe was reorganized into the First Route Army of the Imperial Army, with Li Fuhe as the commander; military expenses were allocated monthly by the Japanese side, and guns and bullets were supplemented by the Japanese side at any time; the so-called First Army of the Imperial Army led by Li Fuhe was responsible for the defense zone suppression of bandits and did not participate in the battle with the Chinese army; Li Fuhe's First Army of the Imperial Army was hung with the Five Banners of the pseudo-North China Republic of China Autonomous Government, and all officers and soldiers wore armbands composed of the Sun Flag and Five Banners.

After reaching an agreement with the Japanese army, on the morning of March 30, Li Fuhe convened people from all walks of life in Lin County to gather at Huanghua Academy in Lin County to celebrate on the morning of March 30.

At around 10 a.m., people from all walks of life were holding a celebration meeting. Several Japanese planes suddenly passed over the venue. The Japanese planes dropped five leaflets and announced that Li Fuhe surrendered to the Japanese army. At the same time, Li Fuhe's nephew Li Ying led a group of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition to suddenly block the entire venue. Li Fuhe announced his loyalty to the Imperial Army on the spot and immediately hung the five flags.

After this sudden change, the audience was in an uproar, and many conscientious Chinese people fled. When he wanted to force the people on the scene to surrender to the enemy, he was strongly opposed by most patriots, including his generals Xu Jingyuan, Huang Yuzhou, etc. Xu Jingyuan and Huang Yuzhou angrily accused Li Fuhe of the evil deeds of betraying the country and the nation, but were arrested by Li Fuhe on the spot.

Seeing that the generals and the people opposed him as Han Jiān, Li Fuhe knew that this place could not be kept for a long time, so he hurriedly fled to Shuizhi with his troops. From then on, Li Fuhe became the commander of the First Route Army of the Imperial Army under the protection of the Japanese army of Shuizhi.

Although Li Fuhe's troops fled most of them and were essentially a down-and-out soldier in the National Civil Affairs Department, his current identity is an active-duty soldier and a general rank. His public leadership of his troops surrendered to the enemy was considered by the Japanese to set a good example for those who were shaken.

The first active senior military general of the Kuomintang led his troops to surrender to the enemy, making the enemy feel like a treasure. Not only did the Japanese brag in the media they controlled, but even their allies, Germany and Italy, were happy. Germany and Italy sent military officers stationed in Peiping, and they brought a large number of condolences to Li Fuhe's headquarters, Shuizhi Town, to comfort his "Imperial Army".

In this way, Li Fuhe became the first active-duty Kuomintang officer to openly rebel and surrender to the enemy after the July 7 Incident, which had a very bad impact internationally and domestically, which caused great anger from the Military Commission. The Military Commission secretly ordered this person to be removed as soon as possible.

After Li Fuhe became the commander of the Imperial Army, most of his troops fled. In order to show off in front of his new master and to maintain his status, Li Fuhe immediately began to expand his strength on the spot.

After Li Fuhe surrendered to the enemy, the civil affairs of the puppet North China allocated 100,000 yuan, 1.6 million bullets, 2.7 million mountain cannons, 270 shells, and 1,000 military uniforms. Li Fuhe used this as a bargaining chip to recruit a large number of raiders, gangsters and bandits on the spot, and formed three reorganized puppet military advisors.

Although Li Fuhe recruited a large number of people, he had no combat effectiveness. In order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of his team and stabilize his team, Li Fuhe had to release the arrested former subordinates from the prison and let them lead and train new troops. Therefore, Xu Jingyuan and Huang Yuzhou were released on the condition that Li Fuhe was trained to train the reorganization team. Since then, Li Fuhe's first army of the Imperial Army was as follows: The First Division, as his direct line, was commanded by Li Fuhe's nephew Li Ying, the Second Division commander was Wu Chaohan, the Third Division commander was Huang Yuzhou, and Xu Jingyuan was appointed as deputy commander of the Imperial Army First Army.

However, what Li Fuhe didn't know was that Xu Jingyuan's real identity was a member of the **, and he was appointed by the ** to come to the Third Detachment of the First War Zone to fight against Japan.

In this process, the Eighth Route Army played a great role. Li Fuhe arrested Xu Jingyuan, Huang Yuzhou and others and sent them to the hands of the Japanese army in Peiping. Under the enemy's torture, Xu Jingyuan and Huang Yuzhou would rather die than surrender. In order to rescue the two, the Eighth Route Army Brigade Commander Chen Geng sent the enemy engineering department chief Zhang Hongyi to come to Peiping as a Japanese.

Zhang Hongyi entered the Japanese and puppet prison through the underground organization Hun, and met Xu and Huang in the prison. In the prison, Zhang Hongyi conveyed the instructions of Xu and Huang to Xu and Huang to "destroy the enemy's trust and take the opportunity to invade the enemy's heart and explode."

Because Xu and Huang had a foundation in the local area, especially Huang Yuzhou was a new savage from Henan. His father was a famous gentry in the local area, and his family was also a famous harmonious family. Li Fuhe thought it was easy for them to expand their troops, so he released them and recruited them again into the First Army of the Imperial Army. In order to stabilize the two, Li Fuhe appointed Xu Jingyuan as the deputy commander and Huang Yuzhou as the commander of the Third Division.

Xu and Huang were not Li Fu and such shameless Han Jiān. After they took over military power, they had been preparing to return, so they did a lot of work in the army. In the First Army of the Imperial Army, they absorbed a large number of passionate officers at the grassroots level and won the Second Division Commander Wu Chaohan agreed to jointly.

Wu Chaohan was born in the Northeast Martial Arts School. He was an old general who started with Li Fuhe from Green Forest. He was deeply trusted by Li Fuhe. However, Wu Chaohan was just and hated being forced to be a Han Dynasty. After being forced to be a Han Dynasty, Wu Chaohan has been seeking anyway. Now the arrival of Xu and Huang is just right, so the three of them conspired to do it many times.

In order to make the uprising, the three of them not only contacted the Military Commission, but also contacted the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi, and both received support from both sides.

Because they knew that the troops they controlled were weak in combat power, in order not to be disbanded by the enemy, the three of them asked both sides to have cover troops when revolting. The Eighth Route Army had a long journey and could not relieve near-term thirst. The biggest force on the ** side was the troops of the temporary Fifth Army deployed in southern Hebei, but it was really difficult to take on a great task with the strength of the temporary Fifth Army.

This temporary Fifth Army is not someone else's army, but the team of the infamous "Tongling Thieves" Sun Dianying.

Before the July 7 Incident, Sun Dianying was appointed as the security commander of Chabei by Song Zheyuan, but this security commander was only an air rank, and Sun Dianying was actually a commander-in-law.

After the July 7 Incident, Song Zheyuan appointed Sun Dianying as the commander of the Hebei Civil Army, with the headquarters located in Fangshan County. Sun Dianying took this opportunity to accommodate a large number of exiled students, retreated soldiers, police, bandits, etc. He quickly organized a team of three or four thousand people. Because the Japanese army was making rapid progress, Sun Dianying's troops quickly retreated to southern Hebei, but his troops increased to more than 10,000.

In the summer of 1938, Sun Dianying met Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan through Dai Li of the Military Control Commission. Chiang Kai-shek gave him a temporary number of the Fifth Army. Sun Dianying transformed himself into a senior general again.

The main force of Sun Dianying's army is now deploying in southern Hebei, and its combat effectiveness is only comparable to that of Li Fuhe's puppet army. If he was asked to take over the army, it would be an impossible task.

At this time, the Ninth Detachment's victory was delivered to the First War Zone. The commander of the First War Zone couldn't help but lit up his eyes when he saw this victory. Instead of letting Sun Dianying's weak troops come to support the Anyway, it would be better to send a powerful force to northern Henan, so that he could not only support Xu Jingyuan, Huang Yuzhou and Wu Chaohan's troops, but also open up this guerrilla zone again.

The first war zone sent the eighth detachment to replace the ninth detachment. Last night, the eighth detachment passed a telegram to report that its troops were already familiar with the defense zone, so the first war zone asked the ninth detachment to enter northern Henan and sent an order.

Li Qinglin waited at the detachment headquarters for a while, and the other two captains rushed over one after another, and Chen Zhendong announced the beginning of the meeting.

At the beginning of the military meeting of the Ninth Detachment, Chen Zhendong read out the orders of advance from the First War Zone on the spot.

After reading the order, Chen Zhendong asked everyone: "Everyone, I ordered our detachment to set off immediately. I wonder what you think?"

The Ninth Detachment had just won a battle, which proved that it had basically gained a foothold here. Now the war zone orders are about to start again, and the new defense zone is still in northern Henan, where the enemy situation is very serious. Everyone is actually a little unhappy. However, the soldiers took obeying orders as their duty, and Li Qinglin and the other two captains still expressed their opinions: "We obey the orders and follow the commander's command."

Chen Zhendong continued: "Since everyone thinks that we should start immediately, let's discuss the specific matters of the march together. Let's talk about which brigade is the vanguard?"

There are still hundreds of miles from here to northern Henan. This time, unlike the last time I came here across the Yellow River, this time, there are basically fallen areas along the way, and the enemy situation along the way is not very clear. The troops may encounter Japanese attacks at any time, so it is very dangerous to attack the vans.

Seeing that everyone was sitting there drinking cigarettes and water, no one answered, Chen Zhendong said: "Everyone didn't speak, that was nothing to say. I'll start calling the name below."

"Deputy Commander Li" Chen Zhendong directly called out.
