On July 7, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, shocking the whole country and Nanyuan. Participants were originally from the 37th Division 1 10 Brigade 2 19 Regiment, and their scale gradually expanded. Dong ordered the dissolution of the officers' training corps and asked Zhang Zizhong to return to command the Han Family Tree Brigade. Zhang Yihe's war is still pending, and the focus of the war is still in Peiping. Dong stayed to assist the deputy division commander in commanding the Nanyuan troops of the 38 th Division. Nanyuan and Wanping attacked the Japanese army in Fengtai. At the beginning of the incident, 29 army had planned to attack and destroy the Japanese troops in Fengtai with seven regiments, including Xiyuan 37th Division and Nanyuan 38th Division, but the plan was not implemented and was cancelled. 1 1 day, Song went to Tianjin from his hometown and Zhang Zizhong went to pay homage. Song didn't want things to get worse, so they made peace in Tianjin. The 38 th division headquarters was presided over by the deputy division commander, and Li and Zhang were consistent, making Dong prepare for the war and avoid the war. 19, Song arrived, ordered the demolition of fortifications in the city, and delivered a peace speech. The Japanese pretended to solve the problem on the spot, and reinforcements came along Pingjin Road. On the 25th, the Japanese army provoked in Langfang and clashed with Liu Zhen's three brigades. The next day, the Japanese army used the Langfang Incident as an excuse to issue an ultimatum to Song, demanding that the 37th Division be evacuated to the west bank of Yongding River before noon on 28th.

Song rejected the Japanese ultimatum, ordered the ministries to prepare for war, and planned to go to war on August 1 day. In Song Dynasty, Zhao was the prefect of Nanyuan, the prefect of Beiping Yugoslav capital and the prefect of Tianjin Wei on behalf of Zhang Zizhong. Although Mr. Liu Ruming lost contact, he still promised to come to help on time. At this time, the organizational system of Peiping and Nanyuan troops was chaotic. In order to facilitate operational command, Song decided to adjust the troops stationed in Peiping and Nanyuan: the 65438 +032 Division, the 65438 +009 Brigade and the Independent 27 Brigade were transferred to Nanyuan; Thirty-seven Division and Shi Yousan Hebei Security Team guarded Xiyuan, Wanping, Lugouqiao and other places; The former army of the 38th Division was replaced by Beiping Independent 27 Brigade, and Beiping was defended by Beiyuan Independent 39 Brigade. Li Wentian led some personnel to evacuate Nanyuan and return to Tianjin. Wang Xizhi, the deputy commander of Zhang Zizhong, was not familiar with operational command, so Dong assisted Wang in commanding Nanyuan troops of the 38th Division. Nearby are Nanyuan, Tuanhe 38th Division, Ankemin Secret Service Corps, Cavalry Battalion and Xue Bing Brigade directly under it. The combat troops are 1 13 brigade Dong Luyang Gansan 227 regiment and Zhang Wenhai 225 regiment.

The enemy got 29 army's operational information from the traitor Pan Yugui and decided to move forward. At 3 pm on the 27th, the Japanese army attacked Tuanhe cavalry battalion, and the cavalry battalion withdrew from Tuanhe. At 6 o'clock in the evening, Zhao led a group of troops to Nanyuan, and the follow-up troops were attacked by the Japanese in the west of Tuanhe, making it difficult to arrive on time. Seeing that the Japanese army was approaching Nanyuan, the Song Dynasty urgently ordered the troops to move to Peiping, and transferred Nanyuan troops of the 38th Division to Peiping to increase their defense. That night, Commander Zhang Zizhong ordered Wang Xizhi and Dong to lead Nanyuan troops of the 38th Division into Peiping for defense. Zhao Dengyu was very anxious after hearing the news. He said to Wang and Dong, "My soldiers have not arrived. If you leave, Nanyuan will have air defense! What should the enemy do now? You can't leave now. You can't leave before my troops arrive in Nanyuan to take over the defense! " So Dong told Zhang and Yang to hold their ground. The division repeatedly urged the troops to hand over the defense to Beiping, but Dong finally dared not give up because there was no army to take over the defense. At this time, in addition to more than 38 divisions, Nanyuan combat troops also included the ninth cavalry division headquarters, the first cavalry regiment, the military secret service brigade, the military training regiment and the officer regiment, and the independent 39 brigade Gaoying, which later broke through Tongxian County, also joined in. Nanyuan military camp is surrounded by courtyard walls, and there is an east-west wall in the middle to divide the whole military camp into south camp and north camp. Zhao set his headquarters in the former military department, and ordered Dong Brigade, Military Training Corps, Officers Corps, Secret Service Corps and Military Region Secret Service Brigade to guard the south camp, while the Second Brigade of the Cavalry Division, the 38th Secret Service Division, the Cavalry Battalion and Gaoying guarded the north camp. Nanying Canal is the focus of the enemy's attack. Dong led two regiments to guard the western section of the South Fence and the prominent rake land, the military training regiment guarded the eastern section of the South Fence, the officers regiment and the secret service regiment guarded the East Fence, and the secret service brigade of the military region guarded the West Fence. Dong lived in the first platoon barracks of the 7th Battalion and commanded. Most of the two regiments stayed in the west section of Nanshanlan, and the other regiment left the shooting range in front of the camp with the 227 Regiment.

At night, according to the detective's report, the enemy of joint artillery and tanks moved around Nanyuan military camp in multiple ways. Dong decided to use reconnaissance power to stop the enemy from approaching the position, that is, to camp and sneak attack the enemy at night. Wang Ying fought fiercely with the enemy all night near Tuanhe, and withdrew his position at dawn. Dong judged that the enemy would attack Nanyuan position after dawn, that is, two regiments would enter the position. At dawn on the 28th, nine enemy bombers suddenly flew over Nanyuan and bombed indiscriminately. Dong's headquarters was also blown down, and he dodged a bullet by hiding in a corner of the house. The enemy artillery concentrated their fire and bombarded continuously. Fortunately, our army has already built defensive positions and bunkers, with little casualties. Soon, the enemy infantry, under the cover of tanks, rushed to Lv Dong's position. Dong ordered a calm battle, gave the enemy a head-on blow, killed many enemies, and took advantage of the vegetarian meal before the battle. Because there are no anti-aircraft guns and armor-piercing weapons, we are helpless against enemy planes and tanks. Only infantry and machine guns can be used to shoot into the air, and cluster grenades can be used to bomb enemy tanks, which is very ineffective. Under the cover of air, artillery and tanks, enemy infantry launched more than a dozen consecutive charges from morning to noon, all of which were repelled by our infantry, machine guns and grenades outside the camp wall, causing heavy casualties. Due to the lack of combat experience, the military training regiment defending the southeast corner fence was broken by the enemy and the general headquarters was threatened. He also made Tong and Zhao move their headquarters to Beiying Street, and made Dong the commander-in-chief of Nanying to take charge of the ministries. Dong sent Yang Tuan's light machine gun company to assist Sun Yutian's brigade in an attempt to restore the position lost by the Chief Officers' Education Corps. Tong, the deputy commander, was not at ease with the military training regiment and came back. At noon, Song saw that the situation in Nanyuan was not good, and the central government ordered to stick to Peiping, Wanping and Baoding, so it ordered Nanyuan defenders to withdraw to Peiping. Zhao and Zheng retired first, and sent someone to inform Dong and others to retreat. However, due to the interruption of the line, the order was not delivered at the moment. Hearing this, Tong was silent in the north, and the director of education went into the north camp to check, but when he saw no one, he was furious. Later, when he learned that the military department ordered him to retreat to Beiping, he ordered Dong and Sun Yutian to lead the troops to break through the south road and lead the officers' regiment and the military training regiment to break through the north road. However, Dong was very aggressive, thinking that the daytime breakthrough was easily intercepted by enemy bombing, so he decided to continue fighting and wait until dusk to break through. Dong Ji sent a brigade reserve team to occupy the reserve position at the northern end of Nanying Canal to prevent the enemy from invading from the north. At 3 pm, the enemy air force and artillery were fierce and communication was blocked. Dong rode a bicycle and braved the enemy's gunfire to direct the contact of various positions. At 0530 hours, the enemy concentrated fire in the north and south directions with machine guns and launched an attack on the position in Nanyingqu. Because of being attacked between Scylla and Charybdis, Brigadier General Sun Yutian and Colonel Yang Gansan said that the task had been completed, and they continued to defend against the fear of crash and burn, suggesting a breakthrough. Dong ordered to prepare for the dusk breakthrough immediately, and asked the brigade, regimental commander and senior battalion commander to master an infantry battalion, deploy it step by step, and charge in waves. They took the signal as an order and launched a face-to-face charge against the enemy. After the break, they crossed the Ping Jin Railway near Wei Villa and assembled in Gu 'an County. 18: 30, the charge was launched. Dong took the lead with a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right, and rushed to the enemy line. The enemy retreated to a nearby stronghold, blocked it with fire, and dared not fight in vain. Dong Lingbing borrowed a green tent to cover it. After dusk, he arrived in the east area of Weishanzhuang Station. Before crossing the railway, it was stopped by an enemy armored patrol train. Fortunately, with the help of the local people, I broke a section of railway at night, and then I passed Pingjin Road safely and arrived in Gu 'an County. Now, after the post-war inspection, the 38th Division under the command of Dong still has 3,800 armed personnel.

Soon news came that Zhitong and Zhao were bombed and ambushed by the enemy, and Wang Xichong, the deputy division commander, was also injured. Song left Zhang Zizhong in Peiping to deal with the enemy, hoping to achieve peace and cover the retreat of various ministries just in case. Song was ordered by the Central Committee to personally go to Baoding to direct operations.

After the Nanyuan War, Dong reviewed the reasons for the failure and drew six lessons: First, under the influence of the policy of non-resistance, our army was completely passive. As far as the secret order of "actively preparing for war and trying to avoid war" is concerned, it shows that the war is uncertain, the determination is not firm and contradictory, which affects the victory or defeat of the campaign to the greatest extent. Second, the disparity between our army and the enemy's weapons and equipment is too great. Our army not only lacks air force, but also has no weapons and ammunition for air defense and armor piercing. It is impossible to fight back effectively by sitting still and watching enemy planes and tanks bombard indiscriminately. Third, the combat effectiveness of various units of our army is uneven. The NCO Training Corps is a newly recruited student, lacking in operational common sense and experience, unable to withstand the rampant attack of the Japanese army, and even the position was first broken by the enemy. 4. The fence of Nanyuan Barracks is too wide and there are too many dead ends, so it is difficult to defend, and it is extremely difficult to equip the other side with side defense. Only by direct fire can the maximum shooting power of the machine gun not be carried forward and the enemy can easily approach our position. 5. There are too many non-combatants stationed in Nanyuan Barracks, including military department, division department, headquarters and brigade department. When the enemy air force bombed, the order was chaotic, which greatly affected the fighting will of the troops. 6. The headquarters is improvised, and it is not fully prepared for military orders, intelligence, communications and various combat equipment, so it cannot cope with the ever-changing and complicated enemy situation.

At the beginning of August, I was ordered to make up Wen' an. 165438+ At the beginning of October, Song was determined to counterattack Shijiazhuang on the Pinghan line in order to concentrate the scattered troops. Song ordered fifty-nine troops to cross the canal and join the war in southern Hebei. Dong, etc. did not listen to Song's command, and dared not move forward. Before we reached the canal, the counterattack had failed, so we led the troops back to Jiaozuo and Daokou in northern Henan.

At the beginning of 65438+February, the fall of Nanjing was imminent. Zhang Zizhong took the first military transfer train to Hankou via Xuzhou and Zhengzhou, and Dong sent someone to Zhengzhou to meet Hou. Because Zhang Zizhong was away, Song felt helpless and sent Fu Zhengshun to Zhengzhou to meet him. After Zhang Zizhong arrived in Xinxiang, Song asked Cheng Qian, commander of the theater, to leave. The Central Military Commission agreed that Zhang represented the commander of the 59th Army in the name of the military department. Zhang Zizhong returned to the team and the whole army cheered. Dong cried bitterly when he saw Zhang. 1938 65438+ 10, the CMC transferred the 59th Army to the headquarters of the Fifth Theater in Li Zongren and went to Shangqiu for standby. At the beginning of March, the 59th Army was ordered to reinforce Linyi to help Pang Bingxun fight against the fifth division of the Japanese ace. It turned out that Sakahara Division landed in Qingdao and advanced to Linyi along the Taierzhuang-Weifang (county) highway in an attempt to join forces with Jigu Division south of Taierzhuang and Jinpu Line before attacking Xuzhou. On June 5438+02, Dong led the whole army to March day and night 180 Li and arrived at Yuxiangbao area in the northwest of Linyi. 13, the whole army assembled, and the heads at or above the regiment level held a combat meeting to study the way to attack the enemy. Dong said at the meeting: "Now the enemy is fighting fiercely in Linyi City, so it is not appropriate for our army to participate in the frontal battle in Linyi. We should adopt the ancient method of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" and go straight to Tangtou Town, the source of the enemy's rear area, so that the enemy can be attacked between the belly and the back, and Linyi's siege will solve itself. " Zhang Zizhong adopted this suggestion and decided to attack the Yi River with three brigades the next morning. Dong's brigade is a military reserve, temporarily located in the southwest of Chashan on the west coast of yi river.

At 3 am on June 4, 65438, the assault troops of two divisions crossed the river to attack. It is difficult for the Yi River to rise. 180 The vanguard troops of the Independent 26th Brigade of the Division broke through the enemy's yi river defense line in one fell swoop, occupied the stop of Hedong as a support point, and the whole brigade crossed the east of yi river smoothly. However, the 38th Division was not successful, and was attacked by the enemy and retreated to the west bank. As a result, the enemy gave up attacking Linyi and turned to attack the 59 th Army with most of his troops. At midnight on June 5438+05, more than 4,000 enemy troops sneaked into the Yi River and occupied the Hexi Ferry. Our army retreated to the highlands around Liujiahu and Chashan. The enemy's pursuit is very tight and the situation is critical. 16, the situation was very fierce, and Dong He Brigade was ordered to participate in the war. Dong led his troops to aid, but was bombed by enemy planes, and the progress was blocked. Dong ordered the officers and men of the whole brigade to sneak forward from the wheat field, which made the enemy's guns lose their target. At dusk, Lv Dong arrived at the front. At this time, Liujiahu and Chashan have all fallen, and 1 12 and 1 13 brigades suffered heavy casualties, so they requested to take over. Teacher Dong suggested: "First, our brigade is a new force. We should not use it to replace the defense lines of various brigades and hold our ground. But to take advantage of its advantages and the instability of the enemy when crossing the river. Second, our brigade bypassed the enemy's defense line and cut off the traffic line after the enemy crossed the river. The brigades fought back bravely, attacked together, assembled the enemy troops crossing the river, and annihilated them on the right bank of yi river. 3. If the whole army retreats, our brigade can be used as a reserve team to cover the safety of the whole army. " Teacher Huang said yes, so he immediately asked the commander. Dong's first suggestion coincided with Zhang Zizhong's intention, and he decided to bash the enemy crossing the river head-on.

That night, the 59th Army launched an all-out attack on more than 9,000 people in Sakamoto Shunzhi 2 1 Brigade on both sides of yi river. More than 30,000 people worked together, and the ace teacher met the nemesis. In the direction of the 38th Division, Dong's brigade is the main attack. Dong and Yang Tuan attacked Chashan, and Liu Tuan recovered Liujiahu. Colonel Yang first commanded the artillery to focus on bombardment, and then sent a company of troops to quickly restore the Chashan position. However, the foothold was unstable and it was recaptured as an enemy reinforcement. At night 10, Yang Tuanfu launched an attack on Chashan. The second battalion attacked from the front under the cover of artillery and machine guns, and the third battalion copied the Japanese left-back. At the height of the fighting, the head of the regiment sent someone to give the officers and men 100 yuan notes to boost morale. The officers and men killed their eyes and declared, "You don't want to die. What's the use of money?" Shredded and thrown into the air, flying down like snowflakes. By the early morning of the next day, with the cooperation of 1 12 brigade, the first battalion of the reinforcement reserve finally captured Chashan. Dong commanded Liu Tuan to capture the core position of Liujiahu that night, and surrounded the enemy third brigade of Liujiahu with the assistance of 1 13 Brigade 225. By three o'clock in the morning, the enemy's third brigade had been wiped out from under the battalion chief Moutian, leaving more than 400 bodies. 18, crossing the river to attack the enemy with Pang Jun in Hedong, and the enemy was defeated and could not get out of Tangtou Town. /kloc-on the evening of 0/9, Dong Feng ordered a circuitous attack to the north of Tangtou, and fought fiercely with the enemy in the front, back lake and back waist, causing heavy casualties and seizing two enemy machine guns and more than 0/00 rifles. On the morning of the 20th, one of Dong Brigade entered Qianhu Cliff, and the other launched a fierce battle with the enemy, killing many enemies. Before long, the enemy broke into the soup and held fast to the danger. Dong ordered the attack, and Yang Tuan's twelve regiments followed one wave after another, all of which were sacrificed, but they still didn't win. Dong ordered the attack to stop, and the two sides reached a deadlock. At this point, the first victory was achieved in Linyi, and the siege of Pompo was solved. In this battle, Dong Lv suffered heavy casualties. Only the battalion commander was killed, Liu Tongfu and Lu Wenlong were injured, and even the platoon leader suffered more than half of the casualties, not to mention the soldiers.

At this point, the pigs of the Setagaya detachment of the 10th Japanese Division on the Jin-Pu line suddenly advanced and captured tengxian, and the commander of the Sichuan Army, Wang, was killed. The fifth war zone ordered the 59th Army to keep a brigade to assist Pang Jun in guarding the city, and the rest to assist the westward advance of the Jin-Pu line. Zhang Zizhong used Dong Wei's staff, became familiar with Pang's officers and assistants, and was easy to coordinate, so he stayed in Linyi.

Fifty-nine troops moved to Feixian County, and the enemy of Linyi revived and attacked again. Dong, and fight, guarding the city, blocking the enemy. As the enemy was strong, Pang gradually retreated and lost all his positions. On the 24th, the 59th Army returned to Linyi and decided to take the offensive. On the 25th, guns roared and the war reignited. Pangbu was in a hurry many times, and all the positions of Jiuqudian and Sanguan Temple in the north of the city were lost. On 26th, Zhang Zizhong came to Linyi to cooperate with Pang, who was still guarding the city and fighting Zhang Jun. Other brigades of the 59th Army marched for a long time, exhausted, and only Dong Lv still had strength. Zhang ordered the 114 Brigade to attack Taoyuan and Sanguan Temple to reinforce the position in Jiuqudian. With the trust and care of Zhang Zizhong, Dong Ziran went all out. In the morning, Dong ordered Liu Tuan to attack Taoyuan and Yang Tuan to attack Sanguan Temple. Liu Tuan struggled to capture Taoyuan and expel the enemy, but Yang Tuan's attack on Sanguan Temple was extremely unsuccessful. Pang Jun used to set up a strong position in Sanguan Temple, but now it has been used by the enemy. Therefore, it was impossible to attack for a long time, and the losses were extremely heavy. Yang Tuan had to retreat to the west of Yi River. In the afternoon, the enemy violently counterattacked Taoyuan, and Liu Tuan stubbornly resisted. Taoyuan finally fell at the latest. In this campaign, Lv Dong lost more than a thousand people and retreated to the west bank of yi river. That night, the whole army shortened the front line and defended the front line of Qigou, Qide, Daling, Xiaoling, Balitun, Renbu Temple and the ancient city. On the afternoon of the 27th, the enemy attacked again, and the situation in the 38th Division on the left was fierce. On the 28th, another day of fierce fighting killed many enemies. However, the officers and men are very tired and the supply of food and ammunition is tight. On the 29th, reinforcements arrived, which boosted morale. On the 30th, the enemy retreated and won the second victory in Linyi, but there were heavy casualties, only one third of them were left.

In the two battles in Linyi, Dong fought bravely with blood for blood, regardless of sacrifice, and made great contributions to Linyi's victory. Soon, the CMC revoked the dismissal of Zhang Zizhong and appointed him as the commander of the 27th Army, but the troops did not expand. Dong is still a brigade commander. He thinks he has met him, and his heart is extremely carefree. However, due to heavy casualties in the battle, Dong also caused dissatisfaction among some subordinates. The commanding organ thinks that Dong "has courage and no plan, and he can't achieve great things without learning and skills".

On April 17, guns rumbled in the early morning and the enemy attacked again. It turned out that the enemy had driven thousands of people from Juxian to take revenge. After a day of fierce fighting with the whole army, Lv Dong killed many enemies and obtained all kinds of guns and documents. However, due to the loss of Daling and Xiaoling, the situation has become more and more urgent. At night, the guns stayed up all night. 18, the enemy invaded along Lin (Yi) Fei (County) Avenue, and seized Xiqin lodge, a strategic place. The front of the whole army wavered, and Dong's 38th Division was in danger. 19, the defending Linyi city finally fell, and Zhang and Pang armies did their best, although the defeat was still brilliant. Lu Dongxian moved to Huangdian with the 38th Division, and then concentrated in the triangle of Yanzi River, Yihe River and Zaoyong Street. On the 23rd, in view of the heavy casualties of the troops in continuous operations, Dong and Zhang Zongheng jointly reported the situation to Zhang Zizhong, demanding that the troops be reorganized to enhance their combat effectiveness, and urging Zhang Shang Feng to strive for a rest. Zhang Zan saw everything, saying that oversight had been allowed to rest, encouraging them to pull themselves together and lead them for the last time. The 38th Division is now organized into 5 battalions, under the command of Li, the brigade commander of 1 and 2 brigades, and the two regiments of Dong Brigade led by Yang Gansan belong to Li Brigade. Dong and Zhu Chunfang both became brigade commanders, not leading troops, but acting with the division headquarters. Soon, reinforcements arrived one after another and the situation changed. On may 19, the fifth theater abandoned Xuzhou. With Huang Weigang, Dong broke through the Yellow Mouth and led some officers and assistants of the 38th Division to the rear to supplement and train new recruits. At the beginning of June, the 59th Army arrived in Xuchang to rest, and the Dong Department added more than 3,000 new recruits. On July 13, Zhang Zizhong returned from Wuhan to offer condolences, and Dong and others went to Zhumadian to meet him. Zhang Zizhong came to Dong's residence for a night and talked for a long time, encouraging Dong to host a cadre training group to train junior officers for the Legion. It turned out that after the two stages of the war in southern Shandong and Xuzhou, the 59 th Army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. After coming to Henan, the recruits were replenished quickly, but the junior officers were badly short of posts and needed to be replenished urgently. Before Zhang Zizhong went to Wuhan, he decided to set up a cadre training group, with Dong as the deputy head and Dong as the director of education. Last month, he was recommended by various ministries to study as a soldier, and went to Zhengzhou, Hankou and other places to recruit exiled young students for training. At the beginning of July, the cadre training group moved to Zhumadian with the regimental headquarters and settled down in the nearby Liu Ge village. Although the cadre training group has begun to take shape, due to economic difficulties, life is very hard, and some young students can't stand it and sometimes run away.

19, Dong attended the reorganization meeting and general adjustment meeting of the 27th Army Corps. The reorganization decided to leave a certain number of vacancies in each regiment, and the remaining funds were used for cadre training courses. Military generals have also been adjusted, with divisions and above, and brigade commanders have also been adjusted. Dong 1 14 brigade commander was succeeded by Zhai Zifeng. Dong was appointed as the deputy head of the cadre training group and the head of the special service group, responsible for training junior officers and the security work of the group.

At that time, it was found that the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army had activities in Biyang, near Zhumadian, and Dong was afraid that the cadre training regiment would repeat the mistakes of Ningdu, Sun Lianzhong, so he paid close attention. Soon found that Zhang Kexia recommended Zheng Yanping, Cao Diqiu and other instructors by hook or by crook, suspected of * * *, and the teaching content was almost red. Dong Sui decided to clean up the * * * people in the cadre training group while Zhang was away. Zhang Zizhong, Dong Dian, said that the cadre training group had different inner-party activities and asked for instructions. When the battle of Huangchuan was in full swing, Zhang Zizhong received a report that he wired Dong to clean up the mess. Dong ordered that Cao Diqiu and others be tied up, and the political instructors introduced were examined one by one, and demanded that Zhang Zizhong be severely punished on the charge of "publicizing red and being lawless". Soon, Zhang Zizhong ordered the above-mentioned personnel to be removed from the group. When the Japanese army approached Xinyang, the cadre training group first moved to Gucheng, and then moved to Zhou Jun. Some young students were deeply dissatisfied with Dong's cleaning up the Party in the cadre training regiment and went to Yan 'an collectively, which proved Dong's suspicion and made him very passive. Dong he was at odds with each other. This incident deepened the contradiction between Dong and Zhang and gradually became irreconcilable.

1In April, 939, the 59th Army and the 77th Army jointly recruited the second batch of trainees in the name of the 33rd Army Cadre Training Course, which facilitated the merger of the two military cadre training groups. 1April, 940, the second phase of cadets has been trained for one year, and after graduation, they are assigned to various ministries, filling the gap of the operational backbone of each department after the winter offensive. So far, Dong has trained more than 2,000 junior officers, which not only won the appreciation of Zhang Zizhong, but also attracted the envy of some people.

1 in may, the Japanese army launched an attack on the fifth war zone, which was called the battle of zaoyi in history. On the 7th, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zizhong personally crossed the river to direct operations, and Lien Chan won a great victory in Hedong, which attracted the attention of the Japanese army, so he mobilized most of his troops to fight back against Zhang. On June 6th, 65438, Zhang Zizhong was martyred. 18, Dong and others didn't know the news until the cadre training class. They received a telegram from Feng Zhian, the deputy commander-in-chief at the Dragon Boat Festival party, and sent him to the headquarters, but they didn't care. On the way, the bad news came, and Dong Zhen mourned and was heartbroken. When I arrived at the headquarters, I saw that the respected officer had been locked in the coffin, and I held the coffin and cried. Go back to the cadre training class and have a public drink. Since then, Zhang Zizhong's deeds have often been used to teach soldiers.

On May 22nd, following the Commander-in-Chief, he appeased the generals of the 59th Army, and reported them as the Deputy Commander of the Army and the Chief of Staff, Huang Weigang as the commander of the 59th Army, Liu Zhensan as the deputy commander and commander of the 918th Division, and Dong as the commander of the 38th Division. On the 27th, the appointments of Huang, Liu and Dong were officially announced, but the appointments of Li and Zhang were not approved. The two men were very unhappy, and they asked Feng to recommend the 38th division commander on the grounds that the 59th army had no affection for Dong. Li and Zhang remained in their original positions, and Li was appointed as the acting division commander of the 38th Division, and Dong was not allowed to take office. Li, Zhang, Huang and Dong are all students of Baoding Military Academy. Both Li and Zhang are jealous of Dong, and Huang doesn't want to offend them, so Dong's exclusion is inevitable. Dong Zhuo didn't know it at that time, but later he learned that he hated Zhang and Li.

On June 1 day, the Japanese army crossed the Xianghe River and attacked the 33rd Army. The ministries retreated one after another and lost many positions. The third on-the-job training course has started, and Dong Ling is on alert, fully armed and ready for class. Soon, the Japanese army approached the cadre training class, and Dong Lingbing went to Zengjiafan in Nanzhang County, and soon moved back to Jingxichang. On the 9th, when Ann fell, Dong made urgent preparations to organize the trainees of the cadre training class into a group and prepare for the war. On 10, the 77th Army heard the enemy's news and retreated regardless of the headquarters. In addition to disappointment, Dong was even more saddened by the death of Zhang Zizhong. In the next few days, all ministries were unwilling to resist and were exhausted. Dong also led a training class for cadres to Longmenji, Nanzhang County.

194 1 July 7th to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the July 7th Incident. Dong thought of him when he saw that there had been no war in western Hubei for more than a year and he was disappointed. In February 65438, Dong and Zhang Zongheng were admitted to the sixth special student class of the Army University and left the 33rd Army temporarily. Dong studied in Baoding Military Academy in his early years. He dropped out of school to join the army in just one year because of the influence of the direct Anhui War. It is often considered a pity that he didn't finish his studies. Now he's just making up for it. At this time, the 33rd Army belongs to the Sixth Theater. Because there has been no war for more than two years, the chief officer has fallen into a third-rate army. 1In August, 943, the commander Huang Weigang died of illness, and the 59th Army lost its powerful chief. Liu Zhensan is the acting commander and still serves as the division commander of the September 18th Division. 10 June, was appointed as 180 teacher. 165438+ 10, in October, the 33rd Army took part in the Battle of Changde, attacked the Japanese stronghold in the north of the Yangtze River, and cooperated with the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River. 65438+ February, the battle is over. Dong Fang graduated from Chongqing and officially returned to the Ministry as a teacher. 1In April, 944, the dying Japanese army launched the Battle of Yuxianggui, in an attempt to completely open the traffic arteries such as Pinghan and Gui Xiang. The Japanese army invaded 38 cities in China for 38 days in a row, and the places that Tang, the elite of the national army, had held for a long time since the Anti-Japanese War, also fell one after another. Although the Japanese army in Nanzhang, western Hubei, which Dong insisted on, also moved out, there was no big move, and soon it returned to its original defense. At that time, due to soaring prices, the life of officers and men was difficult, the generals were depressed, and their troops declined. Dong sees incompetence, corruption, lofty, Liu Zhensan decadent and negative attitude.

1in late March, 945, the 39th division of Japanese army stationed in Dangyang area was attacked by the north of the west bank of Hanshui River on 2 1 to cooperate with the war in western Henan and northwest Hubei. Commander-in-Chief Feng Zhian and Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhensan went to Chongqing to report their work, and no official was in charge. Deputy Commander Zhang Kexia commanded the whole army. When the Japanese attacked Wu 'an weir, all the ministries were in a hurry to get to the headquarters. Ordered Dong to attack the Japanese from the southwest. Dong and Zhang have a deep contradiction and are unwilling to listen to his command, so they are only willing to stick to it and are unwilling to attack. In the face of Zhang's telegram, telephone and written order, Dong refused to accept it. That night, the troops in front were forced to retreat to the rear phalanx, Wu 'an weir fell, and Muyu Village in Nanzhang, where the headquarters was located, was also occupied by the enemy. After Liu Zhensan and Liu Zhensan returned to the army, Zhang accused him of disobeying orders and demanded the dismissal of Dong. Feng was helpless and reported according to Zhang Yi. Dong also appealed that Du Tong and Du Tong were not in office and could not be used. Soon, the supreme commander Chiang Kai-shek replied: "At that time, there was a deputy commander-in-chief, so you should not disobey orders." Dong was eventually removed from office. On June 26th, Sun Lianzhong took the post of Commander of TheaterNo. 1 1 and appointed Dong as the subordinate officer. Dong Hanbei left the 33rd Army after more than ten years.
